Educational Assistants: Digital Supports

Creating
Pre-Recorded Digital Student Resources

Educational Assistants work with classroom teachers and special education staff to discuss and outline the content and focus of pre-recorded digital instructional supports for students. Digital pre-recordings can provide a student with the ability to independently access instructional support. There are a few tools that are used to support this work in the UGDSB.

Examples of Types of Student Supports:

Greeting the student at the beginning of a learning block
Walking a student through what to expect in the next learning period (E.g., video review of visual schedule)
Modelling how to use a specific learning tool/task
Presenting the choices the student will have to pick from during the next instructional period (Choice Boards)
Video/Audio: Reading of a song, rhyme, story for a student using student specific cueing techniques

Provide body breaks for individual students, either online or on site in schools, could be pre-recorded or live

Resource Sharing Best Practice

🏆Anytime we create resources and activities for our students we want to follow best practice of planning these tools in consultation with our team (classroom teacher/SERT) and sharing it together to review before sharing the resource with the student. 🏆

🗣 Adding Voice Notes 🗣

Voice Notes
(Inserting Audio)

Adding Voice Notes to student work is a great way for students to hear your voice, reminders and to review instructions. This strategy allows students to listen to the voice note as many times as they need and builds more independence in their ability to engage in learning.

Making Your Own Screencast Video

Recording your own screencast video can be a great way to engage students in learning. You can deliver your own personalized message, invite a student to complete an activity 'with' you online and even walk a student through their day or an activity.
