Resources

This is a Special Education resource site that provides educators with various resources for interventions. Some include leveled readers on current events, interactive activities, and printable worksheets. N2y helped me develop a self-regulating activity that I implemented with my students.  It is a resource I will continue to utilize going forward, not only for instruction, but for personal growth and development.  N2y requires a paid subscription based on the amount of models they provide for differentiation, that is hard to argue with the cost. However they also provide free samples to take the platform for a test drive.

Class Dojo has been instrumental for gaining and maintaining parent-teacher communication through a direct message platform. It allows teachers to keep track of student behavior on a daily basis and will communicate to parents weekly reports on student's behavior. Class Dojo will also create reports and graphs that inform parents and teachers about the percentages on the behavior recorded. You can chose to view daily, weekly, monthly, all time, or chose the start and end date of the report. I have used Dojo for evidence of student behavior and parent communication. 

Kami is essential for distance learning and it works in conjunction with Google Classroom. Kami is a PDF annotator. Teachers can assign a PDF file to students and Kami allows students to annotate on the PDF file to complete assignments. I will also allow a teacher to annotate back and return any assignments with corrections. Kami has been conductive for assigning students worksheets they are familiar with and have access to them at home. It makes assigning paperless homework a reality which makes us all more environmentally friendly.
