Students have been busy using the book creator app to create the How To Book's using one of the apps on their iPads. Now we are getting ready for a Cookies, Coco and Coding Festival next week. I have my students creating games using their iPad. I can't wait to show off what they have created. It all started with the "Hour of Code" initiative. Being that I teach a technology based course and see the benefits of technology with my students with special needs, I felt it was important to set aside the time in my room to make this happen. They students started out with researching the idea behind the hour of code, explaining why it is important and then they began to work on their coding for their games. I can't wait for my preview day to see what they create.
I need to remember just like Dory to "Keep Swimming" because the world of IEP writing is ever changing. This past week we received notification about the changes to the read aloud accommodation for my students. I'm baffled and confused about some of the information out there and don't know how to change things for my students. I will continue to do what is best for my students because after all this they are students and not just test scores.
