Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
Can I create a story? Can I research the internet? Can I narrate the story in my own voice?
I work with students who have mild to high functioning autism, ranging from third through fifth grade.
Working with this population, every student with Autism is different; you have to find out their likes and dislikes, strengths and weaknesses. There needs to be consistency and structured activities that are predictable. Providing an environment that contains visual supports allows the students to be aware of the expectations and routines throughout the day. Students with autism also tend to have difficulty with social and communication development, which may cause inappropriate behaviors or interactions among their peers and environment. Not being able to effectively express their concerns or deal with unexpected changes results in rising anxiety causing those students to stop functioning. My students attend a Title 1 public school K-5 where the students are mainstreamed within the general education classes for certain subjects throughout the day.
My Project
My students love to listen to books on cd, interact with tag readers, and watch ebooks online. Many have developed a huge interest in creating their own books. They ask if they can type a storyline on the computer and find pictures to upload that correspond with their plot. Unfortunately, it depends on the functionality of the computers, being older equipment. Even with this there are still limitations that interfere such as the ability to narrate voice without headphones, capture live pictures and video clips with the use of a camera, and having access to a reliable device. Not only are my students intrigued and talented with technology, they become excited when they are able to create and share their end product with others via an iPad.
Having another iPad mini in the classroom would open up an additional avenue of creativity and involvement.
My students would want to create projects as they will have all the tools they need in one device.
