      Students and teachers became motivated and engaged in literacy. Students were able to have a choice between typing their stories or writing them by hand. This task was also inclusive in regards to students who might have had learning difficulties. It provided a platform for these students to express themselves creatively through the use of colours, images, written text or a variety of materials such as button, beads, different fabrics that they could cut out and paste, etc.

      This reminds me of a student with ASD at a school I am aware of that wrote his own book about the struggles of making friends. It was an amazing experience for this boy, his twin sister illustrated it for him and his best friend assisted. He performed readings of the book for all the classrooms. Such an amazing experience for the child and the school.

  • Effective Teaching Strategies for Special Education
  • Working with Short Attention Spans Set clear expectations for all students. Break assignments into smaller pieces to work on in short time periods. Space breaks between assignments so students can refocus on their tasks. Share ideas with parents so they can help with homework. Carry out everyday routines consistently. Develop a reward system for good behavior, completing work on time and participating in class. Use visual and auditory reminders to change from one activity to the next. This may need to be done several times before the change is made. An egg timer is a good auditory tool that indicates a signal to begin or end an activity

  • Use a multiple-scenario approach to developing lesson plans. Monitor and verify student responses to lessons. Evaluate and adapt lessons as necessary. Use peers to review lesson plans and to develop ideas that might be applicable. Develop and maintain a pool of mentors. Keep a list of resources for teaching, lesson plans and professional development Set a professional development plan for yourself and track your goals Develop or implement a system that allows for easy and comprehensive data collection to help monitor and adapt lessons Gather some tricks of the trade from fellow teachers, including those who do not teach special education.

      I believe that you have succeeded in incorporating ICT's in your pedagogy when students are able to achieve outcomes that they may have otherwise struggled to achieve and when the ICT component adds to the learning experience rather than deducts from it.  When you make ICT the tool rather than the lesson.
