Today I have been setting up a new iPad for a student in my class who has special needs. Sam (pseudonym) has been given an iPad from the Ministry of Education (MOE). Sam has an intellectual disability, as well as epilepsy and
ADHD. He has social, learning and behavioural issues and he is learning at
approximately 4-7 years old (Level 1 of the New Zealand Curriculum). The students in my class are in year 7 & 8 and level 3-4 of the curriculum.
With the support of Special Education, myself and a teacher aide (0.3) we are exploring the possibilities of using ICT to engage Sam in learning.
My next steps:
- set up appropriate apps from my current knowledge of apps
- explore new apps / sites that could benefit Sam
- learn more about "Clicker Docs" an app that has been installed by the MOE
