1.1.6. Strategies and theories for supporting all students in the integration of technology including Assistive Technology and Universal Design for Learning
While working on a Humanities project that centered around the book No Summit Out of Sight, by Jordan Romero, students were required to read this book and it was a higher level text than some where capable of reading. In order for all students to have access to the text, my colleague and I recorded ourselves reading each chapter so all students had access to the text. We also offered these recordings to ALL students ensuring that no one was singled out or felt "different" than other students due to listening to the text. These audio files were made available on Google Classroom- pictured below.
Another example of assistive technology that I use in my classroom is Voice Typing and Read Write for Google. These are two tools I show all students how to use, regardless of their abilities, and then any students can access them at any time. Students use voice typing to get their ideas down for writing, and use the Read Write for Google to listen to online text, as well as listen to their own writing to check for errors. These are great tools for all students, but are especially helpful for students who struggle to write and/or spell. It's also help for students to hear their own writing to pick up on mistakes.
