STUDENTS WILL BE LEARNING FROM HOME - Term 3 2021
Less of a full-fledged learning curriculum and more of a resource for following your interests is National Geographic Kids. The website is a digital companion to the print magazines of the same name, which are meant for children ages 3 to 6 (National Geographic Little Kids) and 6 to 14 (National Geographic Kids).
Sounding Board is a free mobile augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) app designed for children who are unable to speak (or who have limited speech) to help them communicate. In order to meet the needs of this particular population, the app comes with preloaded boards using symbols with recorded messages. Students select and press images on the board to prompt a verbal message.
My Playhouse is a free app that gives kids a digital doll family of up to 15 people in various skin tones with whom they can explore, play, and share stories with other people. These shared stories help to increase student verbalisations, provide a place for social and emotional learning, and teach necessary early language skills.
