Unleashing Technology for Student Growth: A Collaborative Approach

This resource examines the integration of technology in Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) for students like Nolan, who has unique learning needs. Through collaboration and shared support, we explore various tools and strategies to enhance motivation and engagement. Key considerations include alternate assessments and the application of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles, ensuring that technology serves to empower all learners. By evaluating Nolan's strengths and weaknesses, educators can implement tailored solutions that align with IEP goals while fostering growth and independence.

  1. Technology on the Horizon Sean J. Smith, Ph.D. seanj@ku.edu University of Kansas http://seanjsmith.pbworks.com/kcdsg

  2. COLLABORATION LEARNTOGETHER

  3. SHAREDSUPPORT COLLABORATION

  4. Tech Use? • Growth – So Many Solutions/Tools • Interest – Motivation – Peers – Siblings • Under-utilization – Evaluation – Implementation • Tech in the IEP

  5. Nolan + IEP ≠ AT

  6. Nolan – The Basics Strengths • Able to take information he hears and remember & apply • Interested in music • Very social individual • Wants to demonstrate what he knows • Interested in books

  7. Nolan – The basics • Poor reader – 1st grade reading level • Horrible handwriting – able to write first name • Limited ability to work with keyboard • Socially immature – behavior challenges • Counting skills stop about 13 • Alternate assessment

  8. Nolan & AT • Where would you begin? • What process would you follow? • What instruments/tools would you use? Why? Who would be engaged? Why? • What would you expect for outcomes? Would these be separate goals? Would they be tied to the IEP Goals?

  9. Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary • Mary, Mary, quite contrary, • How does your student grow? • With follow-up and training • And data collected on each goal.

  10. Consideration Forms 6 • Texas AT Network - http://www.texasat.net/default.aspx?name=trainmod.consideration • WATI - http://wati.org/& GPAT - http://www.gpat.org/information on how to assess for AT considerations. • Fritschi’s AT Tool Chart- http://fritschi.home.mindspring.com/tools2.html - Excellent resource to get one thinking about AT Solutions.

  11. UDL 3 Principles • Provide Multiple Means of Representation • Provide Multiple Means of Action and Expression • Provide Multiple Means of Engagement

  13. UDL 101 Number of Web-based Tutorials

  14. Back to Nolan • How does UDL fit within Nolan’s needs? • Where would you lead with UDL? Where in Nolan’s IERP would you say it is not AT but instead, we will address through classroom-wide/school-wide UDL efforts? Explain. • What strengths/weaknesses for Nolan appear to scream, “put UDL-based solutions here?”
