play00:10

okay so today Brian and I are going to

play00:12

review the new Peck low tech other tech

play00:16

tools so we'll start off with no tech

play00:19

and low tech so no tech or unaided would

play00:23

be such as gestures and finger stuffing

play00:27

facial expressions or body language and

play00:30

our buck tech or aided options would be

play00:33

things such as objects you can find

play00:35

around the home pictures photographs

play00:38

picture books picture boards just your

play00:41

standard writing so we'll start off with

play00:45

some know tech oxygen so gestures would

play00:48

be things such as head shakes or nods or

play00:50

a yes no response or pointing to items

play00:53

that they're trying to communicate using

play00:56

thumbs up or thumbs down to indicate yes

play00:58

nods our signs or fingerspelling would

play01:02

be things just ASL or signing exact

play01:05

English and also sign approximation some

play01:08

of our students that have significant

play01:10

motor impairments might not be using

play01:12

traditional sets but more of a sign

play01:13

approximation so a sample instructional

play01:19

activity might be pointing using

play01:22

pointing so this would a sight word

play01:23

splat and to make it a little more fun

play01:26

you can have them point or splat using a

play01:28

slips water or if you don't have a

play01:30

flyswatter you can use a spoon or a

play01:32

spatula or they can just point with a

play01:35

finger or the hand and spike the word so

play01:37

with this it would look like is you

play01:39

would place site word cards on the

play01:42

ground and then give your student the

play01:44

flyswatter or whatever they're going to

play01:46

use to splat and then you say a word and

play01:48

then ask them to select the word other

play01:52

no tech options would be facial

play01:54

expressions we've talked harder

play01:56

assistive over the past few weeks and

play01:59

with partners assisted scanning they

play02:01

need a response and so sometimes that

play02:05

might be a cell or a blink so that would

play02:09

be their yes response and I've included

play02:12

a PDF from Linda Burkhart that has a

play02:16

little more detail about what partner

play02:17

assistants can use and I've also

play02:20

included a youtube video that

play02:22

demonstrates what partner systems can

play02:25

look like now in the video they're using

play02:28

a switch or a single message voice

play02:30

output device to indicate their yes

play02:32

response but if you don't have that

play02:34

again you can go back to the facial

play02:35

expressions of using a smile or an eye

play02:37

blink or whatever the student can you

play02:39

consistently indicate yes

play02:41

are there no tech options would be body

play02:44

which such as I gaze again some of our

play02:46

students list equip motor impairments

play02:48

can use I gaze to communicate their

play02:51

responses I have some examples of

play02:53

homemade I gave this is made out of

play02:56

clear page protectors and key rings to

play02:59

hold them to and they've cut out the

play03:02

middle so that you can see the students

play03:03

response where they're gazing and then

play03:06

this I gaze board is just make a

play03:08

cardboard with the middle cut out and

play03:10

this isn't a board for spelling and then

play03:14

you've also guessed no response on here

play03:16

that they could to to indicate yes or no

play03:19

so a sample instructional activity might

play03:22

be to practice spelling their sight

play03:24

words using my gaze if they have those

play03:26

significant motor impairments so what

play03:29

they would do is they would is at the

play03:30

box that the letter is in and then once

play03:33

that gaze at the box of the less letter

play03:35

is in then they look gaze at the

play03:37

corresponding letter of course like

play03:39

color for that letter so once they go to

play03:42

box to indicate maybe to letter C then

play03:45

they would gaze at the blue to indicate

play03:47

it's the letter in this box and the

play03:49

color blue some low-tech

play03:54

options will start with objects so you

play03:57

can use common items or objects down the

play03:59

round the home such as toys utensils

play04:02

board belt clay or food containers some

play04:08

items are difficult to represent so come

play04:11

together not concrete items than just

play04:13

time so I've included a link to the

play04:16

Texas school for the blind tactile

play04:18

symbols inventory so for things such as

play04:21

time like let's say that

play04:23

the word Thursday is hard to represent

play04:26

with a concrete object found around your

play04:28

home but you can create symbol for

play04:30

Thursday and here it tells you you know

play04:33

Lego and then it gives you a picture of

play04:35

what that symbol might look like and

play04:39

then Jane Farrell has some wonderful

play04:42

activities on site

play04:44

these are literacy activities for shared

play04:47

reading and hang with shapes and letters

play04:49

so she's using play-doh here to create

play04:53

letters she's also using cookie cutters

play04:58

with different options here I'm gonna

play05:01

scroll down to a few more examples she's

play05:03

using paper plates and clothes pins her

play05:07

clothes clips and then she's also got an

play05:11

example of just using magazines to cut

play05:14

out pictures to create an alphabet

play05:17

scrapbook and over here of an object

play05:22

board that you can write out of items

play05:24

around the home the student can make

play05:26

choices we've got pictures of schedules

play05:28

using objects around the home and then

play05:31

again these are symbols from the Texas

play05:33

School for the Blind simple inventory

play05:34

create a yes/no response but you can

play05:37

also just use paper and marker you know

play05:39

green checkmark for yes and a red X for

play05:42

no to provide them options to

play05:45

communicate their yes/no response

play05:49

sustainable science activity the student

play05:52

can predict if an item will sink or

play05:53

float if the student is well they can

play05:56

communicate their prediction by pointing

play05:58

to objects representing sink or float so

play06:00

here they just used a glass and some

play06:03

objects of thinking would look like and

play06:05

what floating would look like then

play06:07

they've got the printed text on the

play06:09

glass as well or you could just write

play06:11

checks on the glass and then find

play06:13

objects around the home and test them

play06:15

out and let the student predict if it's

play06:16

sink or float and they can either gaze

play06:19

to the odd to indicate their prediction

play06:22

they can reach to it or they can point

play06:27

some of our teachers at Churchill Park

play06:29

school are using examples of objects for

play06:33

art and math so here they are using an

play06:35

iPad a bowl of chips

play06:37

here we've got some Oshawa marker or

play06:39

paint on the back door to do an art

play06:41

activity and then here they're using

play06:43

styrofoam cups and a bowl new patterns

play06:47

for math we also have a teacher at blur

play06:51

Elementary route or would mean reading

play06:54

with objects and so she's using Mickey

play06:57

six so they can put over top the letters

play07:00

in them so that the students can feel

play07:01

the letters and numbers they're using

play07:04

them to underline each line while

play07:05

they're reading to create or copy

play07:08

letters and shapes and over here she's

play07:11

objects around the home and content

play07:13

about consonant words and have match the

play07:16

words to the objects other low-tech

play07:21

ideas you can pictures of photographs

play07:23

cut for big boxes

play07:24

labels from canned goods you can cut

play07:27

pictures from magazines newspaper in

play07:29

thirds of coupons you can print pictures

play07:32

from free picture assembled programs

play07:34

that'll be linked in the following

play07:35

slides that y'all can go through and see

play07:38

which ones it's might work best for you

play07:40

or your families a sample life skills

play07:44

activity using food boxes you can look

play07:47

at the ingredients on the back of the

play07:49

cake box you can sequence steps on how

play07:52

to make mac and cheese right there on

play07:53

the side of the mac and cheese box but

play07:55

the picture supports built-in so the

play07:57

student can actively engage and

play07:59

participate during those activities JCPS

play08:03

teacher example using magazines again

play08:05

Riley Penner wood at lor elementary is

play08:08

using magazines for reading and fine

play08:10

motor so she's having the students go on

play08:12

a scavenger hunt and find all 26

play08:14

uppercase letters and then confident

play08:16

using magazines newspapers or old mail

play08:18

and then she's working on having them

play08:20

cut the letters out to work on those

play08:22

fine motor skills other low-tech option

play08:27

is to create picture books you can

play08:29

organize the pictures and tab unders

play08:31

attach them to keyring where you can

play08:34

place the pictures in a small portable

play08:35

photo album to keep them organized

play08:39

sample social skills activity using book

play08:42

would be use your photo book to

play08:44

communicate with a friend things that

play08:45

you enjoy or places that you have been

play08:50

we can also use picture boards the

play08:52

low-tech option you can print free

play08:55

communication words or create your own

play08:56

boards with the free picture symbol

play08:58

programs linked in some of the following

play09:00

slides you can print on cardstock and

play09:03

laminate using clear contact paper found

play09:05

a puffing section at Walmart if the

play09:07

student needs rest you can put the

play09:09

pictures on black construction paper if

play09:12

they need highlighting or if they need

play09:13

easy to track their visual attention to

play09:15

the pictures you can use a flashlight to

play09:17

highlight the pictures so here it looks

play09:20

like a black sheet pan or tray to put

play09:23

the pictures on here that you can just

play09:26

create a low-tech picture board again

play09:27

out of paper edge screen marker or a red

play09:29

marker to create a check mark for yes

play09:31

and an X for no and then here's a

play09:34

picture or that's again attached in one

play09:36

of the slides that better to follow that

play09:39

you can upload into Google classrooms

play09:41

they have access to it or if they

play09:43

already have access to a picture or at

play09:46

home they can use that as well so a

play09:50

sample transition ready Finity using

play09:52

picture boards during lunch you can have

play09:55

a student examine their lunch and ask if

play09:57

they included vegetables and then they

play10:00

can tell their caregiver which fruits or

play10:02

vegetables that they prefer for lunch -

play10:04

using their communication board and if

play10:07

you again if you don't have a

play10:08

communication board you can go back to

play10:10

using objects so just open up your

play10:12

pantry or fridge and pull out three or

play10:14

four choices and let them reach or point

play10:16

to their desired fruit or vegetable that

play10:20

they want for lunch some JCPS teacher

play10:24

examples using boards

play10:26

Laurita roll ed at Westport middle

play10:28

school morning routine is use the

play10:30

picture board to help them communicate

play10:34

the weather the temperature and a day of

play10:37

the week another camper at Westport

play10:41

middle school Jamey Gallagher she's

play10:42

using picture boards to provide visual

play10:46

schedules and to provide morning

play10:48

questions to her students and here are

play10:53

some resources to create picture picture

play10:55

books and picture boards some of them

play10:57

have a limited free trial offer that you

play10:59

could and some of them are just

play11:01

available for free such as this all

play11:02

tillich at corner

play11:05

other low tech options would be just to

play11:08

have a student write responses if they

play11:10

have stroke illiteracy schools so you

play11:12

can just use traditional pen and paper a

play11:14

chalkboard or erase board if you don't

play11:17

have a dry erase board you can make one

play11:19

out of a picture frame sample activity

play11:23

is you can have the student practice

play11:25

writing their sight words using chalk on

play11:27

the sidewalk or driveway they can

play11:29

practice writing and putting in whipped

play11:31

cream and here are some additional

play11:35

resources that we've talked about over

play11:37

the past few weeks this last one is a

play11:40

YouTube video temporary how to use grid

play11:43

view split screen and gable meet to

play11:46

instruct and as well as to see what the

play11:49

student is point to on our communication

play11:51

display and a lot of examples of at home

play11:55

activities one due to the sake of time

play11:58

today

play11:59

Peck's USA has a lot of pre-made support

play12:04

activities with items that are found

play12:07

around the home so we've got a

play12:09

marshmallow activity and a lesson plan

play12:11

as well as the visual supports that

play12:14

would be needed for that activity we've

play12:17

got some shared reading like where is

play12:19

the ladybug the the rainbow fish we've

play12:22

got a book at home activity a stuffed

play12:25

animal Safari activity a scavenger hunt

play12:27

activity and they all come with the

play12:30

picture reports that are needed and a

play12:33

video on YouTube so now we're going to

play12:41

move into other tech tools so I'm going

play12:44

to stop sharing my screen and let Ryan

play12:46

take over all right Thank You Cindy and

play12:49

fuzzer awesome oh yeah I'll take it over

play12:51

and I agree Cindy those were really

play12:55

great tools that you have for parents

play12:57

and I like that they could be modified

play12:58

based on with the parent head around

play13:00

their house so we are reviewing the

play13:03

things we've shown the past few weeks so

play13:05

I'm going to the other tech tools not

play13:07

everything that we

play13:08

or not the thing that I presented the

play13:09

last few weeks but some pics out of the

play13:13

bunch and maybe one new mentioned just

play13:16

to put an idea in my head something else

play13:18

that I had used in the past to remote

play13:21

into my computer

play13:24

from home into work so I'll mention that

play13:27

later

play13:27

all right other tech tools so Texas

play13:32

Beach and speech-to-text probably two

play13:35

big items in your toolbox they're gonna

play13:38

help students tackle the curriculum just

play13:41

it's more Universal for more for all

play13:44

students as well allows them to get to

play13:46

the curriculum without having that

play13:48

constant support by another human being

play13:51

all right so let students use a piece of

play13:53

text tools on any hardware platform to

play13:55

complete those writing assignments so

play13:57

it's in iPads it's in Chromebooks it's

play13:59

on PCs it's in max it's on it's on a

play14:02

couple of devices as well so it

play14:05

everybody has their own microphone as

play14:06

well so get that little microphone icon

play14:09

if you're not sure usually google it you

play14:11

usually go into system settings and

play14:13

figure out where those things are

play14:14

located on this slide control I can

play14:17

click on later turn it on Chromebook

play14:20

accessibility features so many students

play14:22

have those Chromebooks out in their

play14:23

homes right now if they didn't even have

play14:25

their own already so this link teachers

play14:28

will show you usual parents of how to

play14:31

turn on those accessibility features for

play14:34

yourself even or for your students also

play14:37

going into later this link will take you

play14:39

out to the readwrite playlist of videos

play14:40

on the NTIS

play14:42

course I just vistas relearning calm so

play14:45

look for that symbol a little purple

play14:47

puzzle piece is a friend it fills in

play14:50

those spots and those puzzles it's

play14:51

complete your work look for in your

play14:54

Chrome extensions have the students

play14:55

utilize word prediction voice typing and

play14:58

also type it onto PDFs

play15:00

when I go up presentation I'll want to

play15:02

show that again type could be an able to

play15:04

type and speak text into your PDF and

play15:07

then annotate that in other ways with

play15:09

the typewriter tool and then sharing

play15:11

that back to this Google classroom or

play15:14

directly to the student you have a few

play15:15

different options that's very powerful

play15:17

for though

play15:18

students so yeah mentioning Chromebooks

play15:23

so those Google Chromebooks they do have

play15:25

speech to text access voice I think

play15:27

again I wanna stress in this led to

play15:29

another

play15:29

that one clear week everybody thinks

play15:32

that it's just ability this is again

play15:34

this is just a Chromebook everybody

play15:36

thinks you can just do the Google Docs

play15:38

pop the slides you just have it instead

play15:40

those speaker notes and then you have to

play15:42

copy and paste so on so in a Chromebook

play15:46

you can type directly into the school

play15:48

slide itself so yeah so you have to go

play15:52

into this accessibility settings and you

play15:54

turn on the speech recognition those

play15:55

link here again will take you through

play15:57

that and I left in some instructions

play15:58

here but if they go to the Snowman they

play16:01

go to settings or you can access it

play16:03

through the clock settings in the lower

play16:04

right there base familiar with they

play16:06

manage those accessibility features

play16:07

enable dictation speak to type I already

play16:11

had that what this will do is if it's a

play16:13

little microphone icon in the lower

play16:15

taskbar just to the left of that clock

play16:18

area so a bull market phone will always

play16:21

be there so anywhere that a student

play16:23

needs to type text into they can click

play16:25

on that it activates and then they can

play16:28

leave their text into Andy's field and

play16:30

that can be typed into you can also use

play16:34

that search D feature other tools that

play16:39

I've come across that really impressed

play16:40

me and I met at some of these out

play16:42

I know teachers are used in these so I

play16:43

just like to you know real reans

play16:46

reaffirm reinforce that the students

play16:48

well using these quizzes but that insert

play16:52

learning tool I've been playing with it

play16:54

myself

play16:55

and thinking that this thing's great and

play16:57

it's basically free in quotes but it's

play17:00

even if you have a like a paid

play17:01

subscription like on your own is

play17:04

something and that I know as a teacher I

play17:06

would have paid out of pocket to have

play17:08

that tool and not disposal for my

play17:10

classroom students mystical or do they

play17:16

ever really because they're still school

play17:18

still going on right continuous learning

play17:20

so have those students get creative get

play17:23

those 360 degree video tours have them

play17:25

take pictures describe their

play17:27

neighborhood

play17:28

what the impact of all this with the

play17:30

pandemic going on so I know teachers

play17:33

already doing this know how creative you

play17:34

all are and just the babies even based

play17:37

on Cindy's example she shared from those

play17:39

teachers at Westport Churchill and Lord

play17:42

it's a good stuff all right

play17:47

online whiteboards I so there's several

play17:49

and silver a little bit mentioned so go

play17:50

watch those especially about jam board

play17:52

Jam boards great the lamb fit on a

play17:54

really good presentation Elena not to

play17:55

put on a good presentation on Friday so

play17:59

I've also been paying attention to white

play18:01

board got five and a link here for that

play18:02

it goes out so totally free to use no

play18:05

accounts created and you kids have a

play18:07

code the wipe or gets wiped out

play18:09

afterwards canvas for Google its first

play18:13

time really apps check that one out um P

play18:15

offer people mention that and I was kind

play18:17

of I was impressed

play18:18

so check out white board fi Jam board

play18:22

for sure

play18:22

in that canvas and something else has

play18:26

someone a PC and some of these still

play18:27

might be as well

play18:28

Microsoft white board I'm not too highly

play18:31

impressed with the actual just app

play18:34

itself is limited in tools but the

play18:37

Microsoft whiteboard application that

play18:40

can live on your PC impress me greatly a

play18:43

lot of tools lots of ways to collaborate

play18:45

create multiple boards so all these

play18:48

things are built in to annotate your

play18:53

work and port and export and so on am i

play18:56

might get a chance to show that at the

play18:58

end to document cameras so this is

play19:01

something else I've seen a lot of

play19:02

teachers already figured out on their

play19:03

own I'm sure they've been googling

play19:05

looking all this up joining your live

play19:08

session from another device to show the

play19:11

manipulatives a book or to demonstrate

play19:12

something so if you have a multiple

play19:15

device at your disposal look in your own

play19:18

and you have an iPad or your phone and

play19:21

you go navigate to your Google me and

play19:24

then you activate the phone you're in

play19:25

that meeting just and kind of like in

play19:27

your it's kind of your quote-unquote

play19:28

your second person so then you can set

play19:32

that up on an array of books so I a

play19:36

pink too by the way I have a locker

play19:38

shelf but I've always used I haven't

play19:42

panned a little spot with the iPad

play19:43

camera supposed to go and point down at

play19:45

the area below right now I actually have

play19:47

another document camera sitting on top

play19:49

of it but things like that work you have

play19:51

to figure out that that uh that was got

play19:55

nuts under us about the Goldilocks spot

play19:57

where is the perfect distance to take

play19:59

your camera away from whether it is a

play20:00

document on assessment I mentioned

play20:03

middle it is manipulatives and you can

play20:07

show so you share your screen and the

play20:10

students can see what's going on from

play20:13

that second device in the meeting I

play20:15

mentioned hide cam in here

play20:18

I mentioned it because I have a lot

play20:21

experience with some IP veau is the

play20:23

company to make side cam IP Evo and I

play20:27

like their cameras they keep on

play20:28

improving them making even some wireless

play20:30

to communicate with iPads even so you

play20:32

got to plug into a USB the chick goes

play20:35

out and I think I'm pretty aware like

play20:38

this some schools have even bought them

play20:39

themselves but I dot cam is actual an

play20:42

app so you can get this figure Android

play20:44

or your iPhone or your iPad and it can

play20:48

turn your phone into a document camera

play20:51

works really well so you go and launch

play20:53

that app after you've joined from the

play20:55

other meeting and your ad has all the

play20:59

tools you expect inside of an actual

play21:01

document camera software these goes

play21:04

together with that where you can control

play21:07

exposure and lights and so on all right

play21:12

school quick slide on mirror and device

play21:14

to another screen also you can have that

play21:16

PC to share you can use a power mirror

play21:18

there's so few of their tools in here to

play21:22

mirror and I have phone to a Chromebook

play21:23

as well I'm a big fan of Hera server

play21:26

that can get my enjoy Donald as well and

play21:29

also I can get in my multiple devices to

play21:34

to a screen to share to people

play21:37

one of the mentioned this again work

play21:40

actually the font first and I'll show

play21:42

you how that how you can actually do

play21:44

that no I realized I failed to do that

play21:45

last week

play21:47

but no mental works out tools are a

play21:49

great resource for students to use and

play21:51

determining what is really important in

play21:53

text and to improve and improve their

play21:54

literacy they have the ability to pull

play21:56

from that word Bank and help them with

play21:58

their text so I know I mentioned last

play22:00

week also to make their own one that's

play22:02

hanging behind them on the wall guess

play22:04

what a physical whiteboard a little

play22:06

cradle a whiteboard thing you can hold

play22:08

that up in front your camera and

play22:09

students are still gonna get that sent

play22:11

back just make sure to use like a really

play22:13

thick marker so they can come through on

play22:14

the camera screen

play22:15

I got links in here to a few the three

play22:18

works out you some of you probably heard

play22:20

about these everybody knows about ABC

play22:22

but they have a way to make word clouds

play22:26

within them within their website so

play22:28

primal rights appropriate for elementary

play22:30

obviously because ABC yeah but it's more

play22:32

basic and they can you know get those

play22:35

words from us from the class store where

play22:37

everybody's read and then the students

play22:39

can write about it I mean you the

play22:41

teacher or somebody creates that and

play22:43

then shares that to the student it's

play22:45

also more clouds calm and word wall word

play22:48

wall came across recently commissioned

play22:51

it seems european-based

play22:53

but the amount of activities that are

play22:55

only available to use and utilize in

play22:59

your classroom was quite impressive

play23:02

so check out word wall as well and the

play23:03

link there will take you to their

play23:04

website one of the go no questions yet

play23:10

so I'm gonna go out real quick and show

play23:13

you readwrite real quick again launching

play23:19

this you can select text this editable

play23:26

have it played allow this tool I could

play23:29

think of sure the other day any text

play23:31

that maybe you can't select you can drag

play23:32

a box around it and it will analyze it

play23:35

for you any moment now and then it will

play23:40

read it aloud you can hear repeated or

play23:41

you can close out of it this just

play23:45

launched his voice typing which is built

play23:46

into dots and slides are right in and so

play23:48

you can sit there and type from there

play23:49

word prediction but have that turned on

play23:52

it predicts me the next word I can hover

play23:54

over and hear the words read aloud to me

play23:56

there's also other features have to

play23:58

click on the begin to turn that off the

play24:02

other highlighting tools you can click

play24:03

highlights from certain articles and so

play24:05

on you can do a voice note into a doc

play24:06

it's pretty handy and crazy automatic

play24:08

roll voice know you comments and there

play24:10

you can also select text as well and

play24:13

turn it into an mp3 file this way so if

play24:15

you need to share some audio to

play24:17

something drop it into slides for

play24:18

instance you could download them you can

play24:20

make this one sexy already had and turn

play24:22

it into an audio file that you can

play24:24

insert into Google slide the PDF tool so

play24:29

I have opened here from Google's real

play24:31

cards enabling accessibility features so

play24:34

I can hear this read aloud and also I

play24:37

can type into it actually I didn't

play24:43

analyze this one Brian did a bad thing

play24:45

and I didn't send it through an OCR

play24:47

which is another thing I know that what

play24:48

I left out today mentioning optical

play24:50

character recognition where I send it

play24:53

through a tool to analyze all this text

play24:55

and that way I can have it you know open

play24:59

this file up to have it for sure read

play25:01

wild and which this one is but then it's

play25:04

not allowing me to type into it real

play25:08

quick before we read on with a couple

play25:10

minutes this is whiteboard fungi preemie

play25:12

tool here is it that word wall that I

play25:16

mentioned they have a bunch of

play25:17

activities one of them is kind of like a

play25:20

pacman type game it was pretty paint and

play25:22

fun clay

play25:23

here's that ABCA word cloud so really

play25:26

simple to use because you know drugs on

play25:28

how to use that I'm gonna mention

play25:32

mention chrome remote desktop I was

play25:36

working with an SLP recently cuz air

play25:38

Kurtz who's I and Google and I know all

play25:40

you and instructional team innovation

play25:42

team rather know who he is so the chrome

play25:44

remote desktop app I used to use that

play25:46

several years ago to access my desktop

play25:48

from home but now I have a laptop how to

play25:51

stop using it

play25:52

so the other side of feds promote active

play25:54

remote support and so it allowed us to

play25:56

tie into each other's computer I gave

play25:58

her a code and made the teacher I'm

play26:01

allowing her to play a game so I was we

play26:04

were come up with some ideas allow

play26:05

students could then control a game so

play26:08

as the peace could then have that either

play26:10

disposed I'm gonna hop off here sub

play26:13
