    "In this post, I am going to describe #Opensem, an Open-Pedagogy-powered First-Year Seminar (FYS) that I taught this past Fall at my small, public university in New Hampshire. While following certain parameters set by the university regarding learning outcomes and goals for the FYS program, I ran the course as an experiment in radical OpenPed. I say "radical" not because it's anything brand new or particularly edgy, but because it takes some of the basic principles of Open Pedagogy as I have been conceiving of them and puts them into practice in the fullest ways that I could imagine within the confines of my institution."

    This online resource begins by explaining Indicator 13 and 14 which is important because many parents and students are unfamiliar with the term. The opening page also gives families an overview of agencies that specialize in special education transition services. There are several links that provide important information that can be very useful to families in this situation. In my opinion, this website is full of wonderful information and at times seems a bit overwhelming. Some of these important areas are; occupational therapy, early childhood, funding, physical therapy and parent partnerships. I would use this resource as a guide to parents and teachers who are in the process of transitioning a student/child to middle or high school. I would have a meeting with the student and parents to discuss the transition process and ask the parents to view the website to that they have an understanding about the different agencies involved to help.

    This video is a wonderful resource for teaching tolerance and acceptance of all abilities. It is really touching, moving, and eye opening.It gives the viewer a visual of what these disabilities look like and how these people are just like any one else, people. They just have different abilities than others which is natural and occurs in people with and without disabilities. I would use this video as an acceptance and tolerance lesson with late elementary-high school students. I would pair it with a writing prompt or some other type of assignment to get the students really thinking and feeling from this video. My hopes is that it would open up a wonderful discussion for the class.

    "One day, in front 36 riotous sophomores, I clutched my chest and dropped to my knees like Sergeant Elias at the end of Platoon. Instantly, dead silence and open mouths replaced classroom Armageddon. Standing up like nothing had happened, I said, "Thanks for your attention -- let's talk about love poems.""

    "When a young woman texted DoSomething.org with a heartbreaking cry for help, the organization responded by opening a nationwide Crisis Text Line to provide an outlet for people in pain. Nearly 10 million text messages later, the organization is using the privacy and power of text messaging to help people with issues such as addiction, suicidal thoughts, eating disorders, sexual abuse and more. The data collected in the process is reshaping policy and preparing schools and law enforcement to better handle spikes in crises."

    "Work Early, Work Often" is a video campaign created by the Youth Transitions Collaborative's career preparation and management working group. Together, the three-part series highlights the importance of work and work-based experiences in an individual's transition to adulthood, particularly for young adults with disabilities. Each storyline focuses on a different subject and narrative, told from the perspective of key audiences that are part of the transition journey. All videos include open captioning and audio descriptions.."

    "Student privacy has become one of the hottest issues in education, with some 170 bills proposed so far this year that would regulate it. These legislative efforts stress the need to protect students when they're online, safeguarding their data from advertisers as well as from unscrupulous people and companies. There's some pushback against these proposals too, with arguments that restrictions on data might hinder research or the development of learning analytics or data-driven educational software."

    This video is about two sisters. The oldest sister is narrating the story talking about her younger sister who is special needs. I is a really touching story about acceptance and tolerance, as well as a lesson on family bonds. It is an eye opening video that touches anyones heart. This is a great video for teaching acceptance and tolerance to younger and older students. I personally used this video for a graduate school project on Intellectual Disabilities. It was a perfect example of what I.D can look like. Using this video with say 5th or 6th graders would be ideal because they could relate to having that younger sibling possibly and relate to the bullying aspect and how that would make anyone feel.

    Such a great video! Would be perfect to start a discussion about acceptance of others.

    I think its excellent that you discovered this video Erin! I completely agree with what Sarah said about using it as a way to start a discussion about accepting others. This would be beneficial for older students.

    I love this video! I agree with everyone. This video could be used for all ages for acceptance and relates to self-determination; just because he looks different, does not mean he can't do the things that other people can do.

    Thank you for posting this here. It will make it easier for me to find it in the future. This video does such a good job at capturing the idea of self determination and what it is all about. Any viewer of this video can instantly become more in tune to student needs and how to help students to be more self determined.

    Learning what your college has to offer is so important! Keene State has wonderful resources but not all colleges do. Students really need to do their research to be sure they are getting what they need and take their education into their own hands.

    Good advice for teens headed for college. Especially "It's important to ask the college's disability services office specific questions that address the availability and accessibility of different types of AT resources on campus." Be prepared.
  • Steve Bigaj on 31 Mar 12
     
    "Are you a high school student who uses assistive technology (AT) in school as a way of compensating for your learning disability? Do you have an Individualized Education Program (IEP) that requires your school to provide you with a personal talking word processor, an electronic keyboard, or other useful devices to help you stay organized and complete work assignments? If so, beware! Once you graduate from high school, you will most likely need to leave behind any AT equipment your school provided.   Will you be able to arrange to use these same or similar resources in college? Might you need or want new or different AT tools? Is it the college's responsibility to provide and pay for your AT devices, or will you have to buy your own? As you prepare for college, it's important that you know your rights and options regarding accommodations, including assistive technology devices, as a student with a learning disability and/or AD/HD. In college, you'll be responsible to advocate for your needs and to take initiative to obtain accommodations."
  • Andrea MacMurray on 06 Apr 12
     
    It is crucial to know what your college offers! Learning this prior to starting school is so incrediably important and will help the student be successful in school. Schools have so much to offer typically you just have to seek it out.
  • Karla Luhtjarv on 26 Apr 12
     
    This is great for students who are planning on going to college to read. I know of some students who don't even want to research/contact any colleges regarding assistive technology or other assistance they might be able to provide. I hope that students do consider what resources are available at the school of their choice and that they've developed the self-advocacy confidence to seek out help when they need it.

    Thank you for sending your invitation for the Michigan State University College of Education to submit new materials for the next round of the National Council on Teacher Quality's teacher-prep review. While our college willingly and fully complied with your first review, which was released in June, we must respectfully decline this time around. We would like to explain why we have decided not to participate
