"The Sensory Learning NZ website is the home of the Sensory Learning Toolkit (SLTNZ). The SLTNZ has been designed primarily for practitioners of students with Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties (PMLD). We have researched, tried and tested tools to gather data and approaches to learning that are suitable and relevant to this group of students. Tools that show the very small and often subtle changes in student behaviour that show learning and how they learn. At the heart of the SLTNZ is the belief that 'everyone is learner', starting from a base of 'presuming competence' and celebrating achievements. The overriding framework and approach however can be used with higher functioning students of all ages. The tools used to gather data will change but the process will be the same."

Monica Kissel and Adina Popa from Loudoun County Public Schools, both Innovative Educators of the Year, will discuss kinesthetic learning. Sponsored by the Innovations Committee. How do we engage our 21st Century students? How do we help them understand that the material covered in class is relevant to their lives? In his book "Motivating Students to Learn," Jere Brophy suggests that students learn best when they are actively engaged with the content. Through kinesthetic learning, they develop lasting skills that many times translate into higher levels of student achievement. But how does kinesthetic learning look in a 21st Century classroom? The answer is simple: gesture-based learning. Does this initiative belong to the future? Not according to the 2011 Horizon Report which highlights Gesture-Based Computing as one of the six emerging technologies that will likely enter mainstream use within the next four to five years. The purpose of this session is to identify current technologies that employ gesture recognition, and then present innovative and replicable ways through which these technologies have been used at Steuart Weller Elementary. From turning shy students into persuasive public speakers through Avatar Kinect, to opening a world of possibilities to students with special needs though Kinect Adventures, to saving animal species with partner classrooms across the globe using multiple technologies, to exergaming, children have been immersed in a world of learning that they love. Attendees learn not only what relevant technologies are available, but also how to use these technologies in any curriculum area
