Editor's Notes
- Magnifying can assist students in attention and focus (in addition to vision).
- Accessibility – hyperlinked to Section 508 (Environmental Protection Act) Let’s begin with the accessibility features built into the Windows Operating System. Starting in the control panel and clicking on the Appearance and Personalization link, we can see a variety of built in features. We will take a quick look at the Display features and the Ease of Access Center.
- Let’s begin with exploring the accessibility features of Windows 7. You can also access these features on the Windows operating system by going to the Start button/ All Programs/ Accessories folder/Ease of Access folder. We will be discussing the magnifier, onscreen keyboard and the speech recognition features. Ease of access, formerly known as accessibility, is located under accessories. The path to access it is located on the slide We will take a quick look at the: Magnifier Onscreen keyboard: Speech recognition: Let’s take a quick look at the Ease of Access folder.
- Readability statistics provides grade level information on text that is typed or copied and pasted. Consider the student who struggles with writing. The student can generate their written work. Run the spell check with Readability and using the Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level get an idea of where they are writing. If their work is below grade level, they can work to improve it. Likewise, let’s consider reading. This example shows a grade level reading assignment, however, we have a student who is reading below grade level. The Readability Statistics show us current level. You can go in and edit the material yourself or… (go to next slide)
- The first application that you must investigate is called Bookshare. Bookshare began as a for fee resource for individuals who have been identified with a print disability. Recent changes in IDEA have now made Bookshare a free resource. Students who are registered with Bookshare.org can quickly and easily download text books, curriculum texts and leisure materials for supportive reading. https://www.bookshare.org/ Bookshare is a computer voice. Another very similar resource is Learning Ally. The benefit is that LA has a human voice option. But it costs money to subscribe. http://www.learningally.org/audiobook-membership/?gclid=CKng99OXhL4CFbM7OgodZSIA4Q
- Did you know that Adobe Acrobat Professional can actually read text to the student? This is most definitely something to check out. Easy to use and much less expensive than many of the more sophisticated programs. Also allows students to learn a program typically utilized within college/career settings.
- Now let’s move into some additional online resources. Please work closely with if your library media specialist to learn more about the amazing web based resources that Baltimore County has available.
- CCRC aims toward integrating information text – allows readers of varying levels to access the same material
- https://rewordify.com/vidsiteoverview.php
- Learning sessions can actually help students learn vocabulary – great for IEP goals that focus on content-specific vocab
- http://disabilitynetwork.org/technology/40-amazing-ipad-apps-for-the-learning-disabled/#.U3OHpCXD-00
- Thinkport: Maryland Public TV and MSDE Great lesson plans on the Bay area Thinkfinity: Maryland Public TV and Infinity/Verizon STEM-friendly
- The UDL Tech tool kit is an amazing resource. This new resource is hosted by an AT specialist in Massachusetts. Karen locates resources to support UDL and all types of learners. This is an excellent resource to locating strategies to support your students. Great for teachers: matches UDL with content specific information as opposed to the UDL principals (like the CAST website does)
