    Introducing Breezy Brie An educator who has some amazing Special Education blogs, including one that is particularly dear to me: Planning Community Trips for the Year.  My time in a Special School Transition class demonstrated how important it is for students to be exposed to different life skills, for example going to the local shopping centre for morning tea.  Breezy Brie also includes links to resources she has found effective, such as a store logo flash card set.

The Mythic Qualities of Social Media and associated ICTs | Weblog reflections of Fran G... - 2 views

  •  
    This is a really good example of what you can post on your blog as part of the learning journal. Frances has taken one of the activities from the learning path (Postmans 5 things), connected it with another event in her life and made connections. She's also link to a couple of online resources within her post. You perhaps don't need to go quite as far as Frances. e.g. just using it as an example of one of Postman's 5 things would have been sufficient.

SpeEdChange: CSUN 2008/A Toolbelt for a Lifetime - 7 views

  • Toolbelt Theory is based in the concept that students must learn to assemble their own readily available collection of life solutions.
  • Task1. What needs to be done? (when possible, break the task down into component parts)
  • Environment1. Where must this be done (or is typically done)?2. Under what time constraints?3. What is the standard method of task completion?4. How does the person with the disability interact within this environment?5. Who is the task being done for? (specifics of teacher, employer, other expectations)

  • Schools
  • Tools1. What tool best "bridges the gap" between the current skill set and what is needed for task completion?2. If the tool is not already "in the toolbox" (the person has been successfully trained in its use), how does the environmental timeline match with the needed learning curve?3. If it is not possible to use the "best tool" within this environment what is the "back-up tool"? How do we pre-train so the best tool can be used the next time?
  • Skills1. What specific strengths does the person with the disability bring to this task?2. What specific weaknesses interfere with that person's ability to complete the task?3. What is that person's "tool acquisition aptitude" and what tools are they currently comfortable with?

  • The goal is to empower students to continuously assess their changing needs and the ever changing technological environment that surrounds them, and allow them to build their own toolbelts of appropriate solutions to their life challenges.

    I found this and thought it supported the previous article regarding tool belt theory

    Aspen, did you find the info on the theory, the task or the environment?

    Its great to hear people say that we need to work together. I remember years ago a friend of mine (who was a Grade 6 teacher) told me of her frustration when she would encourage her students and they were alive with excitement to learn and explore and the work they handed in was exceptional from her point of view. However, six months into the next year she would be so disappointed because the grades of the Year 7 students would be declining and their attitude was one of apathy. What she wanted to do was to work with the Year 7 teacher so with a combined effort they could assist the students to continue their positive attitude throughout their time at upper primary school. The Year 7 teacher felt threatened and the sad cycle continued. When I read http://www.independent.co.uk/news/education/education-news/blog-early-blog-often-the-secret-to-making-boys-write-properly-2211232.html as well as http://www.letthechildrenplay.net I was thrilled to hear what great progress is being made by teachers/schools when they collaborate. Thanks for the info.

      This document highlights the importance of developing stronger partnerships with all stakeholders recognised as important in the child's life.  Connecting parents to their child's learning through ICT can provide a more relevant and straight forward process for the parents to be involved that they will understand and can easily access.  
    • Kirstie Willadsen
       
      As highlighted in the preamble , ICT is growing rapidly and it is important for students to be able to use and identify ICT.  Conforming to this change will ensure all children have a depth of understanding as adults.

    Watch some great teaching practice in action...

    I love Teachers TV. I'm glad we can still access after it closed down a couple of years as it is so educational and gives practical demos for preservice teachers everywhere, as well as accredited educators also. It's so good to have real life teachers taking you through their strategies and lessons. very educational for those of us who are learning all the time to prepare us for the day we are the teacher.

    1. Interesting to me in a sense that this teacher uses a lot of creative resources in her classroom, incorporates ICT's (the wide web) to share with other teachers - which is helpful in a sense of gathering knowledgable and creative resources. Gives lots of insights into the classroom, and shares life as a teacher - and the resources she uses for her students in the classroom.

    Down under teacher is an Australian teacher's blog if the title has not gave it away for you. It appears to be particularly focused towards the Early Primary setting. She also experienced great difficulty getting in touch with other Australian teachers so you will find she has created a tab and encouraged other Australian teacher's to come forward with the names of their blogs.
