  3. Welcome to our special needs seminar Our group will be presenting two (2) technologies that teachers can use in the classroom for two categories of hearing impaired learners. Before we go on let’s get a better understanding of how the ear works Click below to start

  4. The following a series of multiple choice questions design to increase your awareness of the world of the deaf. Choose the best possible answer by clicking on your choice. If your choice is not correct you can try again. Test Yourself

  5. 1. Sound waves make their way to the hair cells located in the a) ear lobe • b) outer ear c) cochlea • d) ear drum

  7. Congratulations That was CORRECT !!! Sound waves make their way to the hair cells located in the Click below continue cochlea

  8. 2. Which part of the ear transmits sounds to the brain? a) Hair cells • b) Ear drums c) Cochlea • d) Ossicles

  10. Congratulations That was CORRECT !!! Which part of the ear transmits sounds to the brain? Click below continue Answer: Hair cells

  11. The first group is those learners with severe or (Sensor neural Hearing Loss.) This type of hearing loss occurs when there is damage to the inner ear (cochlea), or to the nerve pathways from the inner ear to the brain. This is the most common type of permanent hearing loss. The second groupof hearing impaired learners is those with minimal or temporary hearing loss. In many of these cases the learner may only need some sound amplification to be able to hear what the teacher is saying.

  12. For the group with severe hearing Loss The Apple iPad can be classified as a mobile computer in a tablet frame. It is slightly larger than a (10 inch netbook) and does not have a physical keypad. It has a multi-touch screen interface as its’ basic input method on this device. In addition to its multi-touch screen, it is also programmed to be multi-oriented, so the user can tilt the frame from portrait to landscape according to his preference. “Multi-Touch” means that the user can “tap” and “drag” items on the display by using fingers. The iPad is powered by thousands of apps (Application Software) that allow this device to perform at a very high speed The Apple ipad is recommended

  13. Lets look at the ipad in action Click below to start

  14. Practical Application in the Classroom: ipad During the lesson in class the teacher can communicate wirelessly with each student individually or with the entire class In turn each student can communicate with the teacher. Thus the teacher can ensure that all the students are having their questions answered in clear and timely manner. The teacher can provide immediate feedback to those who need help while allowing those who can work on their own to do so. The technology can also be used in peer teaching where a stronger student in a particular subject can work with a weaker student. Using the iPad the teacher can create Internet Workshops with Hot List which the learners can work on along with the teacher, other students or on their own and the teacher can give corrective and remedial feedback as theneed arises in a timely manner to all students. The Apple iPad can be used in the classroom of Sensor neural Hearing Loss learners in subjects such as Science, Math, and Social Studies and almost any other subject.

  25. Features • Powerful Multimedia Stereo 50 Watt Amplifier • Completely Wireless Design. No cords, cables, connectors or wires! • Lightweight and highly mobile, only 34 lbs! • Battery Powered runs for up to 200 Hours on 10 D-Cell. • Wireless speakers can be used in small areas or placed up to 500 feet apart, no worries about being hear in a large areas or classroom. • It comes with wireless Headset and Lapel Mics are easy to use just plug in the transmitter. For the group with minimal or temporary hearing loss The AmpliVox Sound Systems is recommended AmpliVox Sound Systems has no wires, cables with this stereo wireless speaker system. Just position the speakers, add the batteries, and turn on the mic and you are ready. This is the simple solution in wireless presentations systems on the market with acoustic speakers and wireless 50 watt amplifier

  26. Lets look at the AmpliVox Sound System in action Click below to start the video

  27. Practical Application in the Classroom: AmpliVox Sound System • The teacher can position the speakers in any configuration because they are wireless. For example it can be used in a Physical Education class out doors because of its 200 Hours on 10 D-Cell and signal strength. • The teacher using the Lapel Micscan move freely his classroom (the football or basket ball field) and be still be heard by is hearing impaired learners. • Studies have shown that hearing impaired and also regular students retain more information and have less behavioural problems in Amplified Classrooms. Thus this would aid in class management and the delivery of the curriculum. AmpliVox Sound Systems is so easy to set up and operate in a classroom of hearing impaired learners
