Differentiation in Action shows how you can differentiate tasks in the classroom to aid inclusion. The primary (Wednesday 4pm) episode looks at how puppets and text can be used to recognise speech in a KS1 class. The secondary (Tuesday 7.30pm) episode follows a history lesson where differentiation is used to great success and the pupils assess their own achievement as well as discussing which teaching styles they prefer and their preference for mixed achievement groupings. Also on this week is Being Different May be Cool, (Friday 7pm) an honest look at the challenges of dealing with children on the autistic spectrum through the lives of three autistic brothers and their mother.

LooseStitch · Free Online Outliner · Create · Invite · Share - 0 views

  •  
    via Paul Hamilton...Free Resources from the Net for (Special) Education ».... Loose Stitch is a user-friendly outlining tool that can be used in many ways to support learning. An individual can use it to record and organize researched information. Or, it can be used to help keep track of scheduled events or assigned tasks on a project. As well, Loose Stitch offers convenient ways of sharing recorded information. It has been designed to be used collaboratively by a group of people working together on the same project. I especially appreciate the ease with which Loose Stitch outlines can be embedded in wikis or blogs.

New Nicaraguan sign language shows how language affects thought | Not Exactly Rocket Sc... - 2 views

  • In the 1970s, a group of deaf Nicaraguan schoolchildren invented a new language.
  • It was the first time that deaf people from all over the country could gather in large numbers and through their interactions – in the schoolyard and the bus – Nicaraguan Sign Language (NSL) spontaneously came into being.
  • NSL is not a direct translation of Spanish – it is a language in its own right, complete with its own grammar and vocabulary.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Its child inventors created it naturally by combining and adding to gestures that they had used at home. Gradually, the language became more regular, more complex and faster. Ever since, NSL has been a goldmine for scientists, providing an unparalleled opportunity to study the emergence of a new language.
  • those who learned NSL before it developed specific gestures for left and right perform more poorly on a spatial awareness test than children who grew up knowing how to sign those terms.
  • The idea that language affects thought isn’t new. It’s encapsulated by the ‘Sapir-Whorf hypothesis’, which suggests that differences in the languages we speak affect the way we think and behave.

    "...as human language envolved, our mental ablities became increasingly entwined with linguistic devices."

Wrightslaw - The "Write Stuff" For Preventing and Treating Disabilities by Virginia Ber... - 1 views

  • two kinds of writing disabilities. One group has initial trouble learning to read; the children respond well to instruction, but have persistent problems with writing. One of these children commented to this author, "OK, so now you cured my dyslexia; now what are you going to do about my dysgraphia?"
  • For many other children, writing problems develop even though they learned to read quite easily.
  • several reasons for writing difficulty: a) underdeveloped spelling, handwriting or composing skills, singly or in combination; b) processing problems related to handwriting, spelling and composition to included orthographic or phonological coding, fine motor planning, automatic letter retrieval and production, working memory, and so forth; or, c) attention deficit disorder. In addition, some children have simply not had a program of coordinated, explicit instruction in all the component skills needed to develop a functional writing system.
