  1. Set Up Directions Start Time: 9:00 Stop Time: 9:30 Objectives: By the end of the session, participants will be able to: • Identify an instructional framework for effective implementation of assistive technology in the general education classroom. • Identify peer-assisted learning strategies that support building a positive learning environment in the general education classroom. • Describe basic components of the GLOBE Tech explicit instruction delivery model. • Access online and print resources to support GLOBE Tech implementation. Special Directions: • Register and pick up nametag. • Sit at your assigned table and seat according to your nametag. Challenge Question: How will the instructional strategies of the GLOBE Tech model support the implementation of assistive technology for student learning? Johns Hopkins University Center for Technology in Education

  2. Empowering EducatorsAT Consideration + Classroom Implementation = Access for All 2006 Maryland Assistive Technology Network and Boundless Learning Spring Institute – May 18, 2006 Nicole Tucker-Smith, Jeanne Dwyer, Lynne Mainzer, John Castellani, Tammy Devlin

  3. Assistive Technology Update • AT Considerations • AT Monograph Considerations Model • AT Outcomes Results • Consideration√ • Implementation? • A Collaborative Approach • An Evidence-Based Instructional Delivery System Johns Hopkins University Center for Technology in Education

  4. What’s Going On? Please stand if… • You have seen technology being used to help students learn. Remain standing if… • You have seen general and special educators effectively collaborating and using assistive technology in the general education classroom. • You believe ALL students with disabilities in your school or school district who need assistive technology supports are actively engaged in positive learning environments AND achieving AYP.

  5. Assistive Technology Cycle: Consideration to Implementation Class Profile MatrixA tool that organizes instructional accommodations and assistive technology for students with special needs AT Consideration Planning Guide A decision-making guide to identify possible assistive technology solutions GLOBE Tech An explicit instruction delivery system that integrates tools and strategies to help all students access the curriculum Assistive Technology Outcomes An evaluation tool to developan AT accountability system Johns Hopkins University Center for Technology in Education

  6. Teambuilding Icebreaker: Windows • Start with the Facilitator. • Take turns suggesting something that everyone might have in common. Example: Do we all like chocolate chip cookies? • If everyone says yes, record “like chocolate chip cookies” in the window marked 5 (if you have 5 team members). If 2 people agree, record that statement in the window marked 2. • Pass the paper around the table and try to discover uncommon commonalities. 1 4 5 2 3 Johns Hopkins University Center for Technology in Education

  14. Planning and Preparing Technology Planning: Think about the diverse needs of your students. Preparation: • Devices and materials are readily accessible. • Procedures for using technology are known and practiced. • There are back up strategies and low tech tools. Johns Hopkins University Center for Technology in Education

  15. Planning Instruction for Diverse Learners • Identify curriculum indicators and learning objectives • Review IEP goals and objectives • Consider what strategies, accommodations, and technologies need to be implemented so that all students achieve learning goals AT Consideration Planning Guide Class Profile Matrix Johns Hopkins University Center for Technology in Education

  16. Team Activity:Planning Instruction Scenario • Read the MVSC Indicator and Objective Card. • Read the snapshot for “Kathy.” • Use the graphic organizer to record potential strategies, accommodations, and assistive technologies that would give access to curriculum. • Be prepared to share your team’s responses with whole group. Johns Hopkins University Center for Technology in Education

  17. GLOBE Tech GLOBE Tech is a daily cycle of instruction anchored in peer-assisted learning that implements assistive and instructional technology tools and strategies to help all students gain access to the general education curriculum in order to meet state content standards. Johns Hopkins University Center for Technology in Education

  18. What is GLOBE Tech? Get Ready Launch Teacher Presentation Organize Team Learning Boost Individual Understanding Evaluate and Celebrate Johns Hopkins University Center for Technology in Education

  19. A Flexible Framework Johns Hopkins University Center for Technology in Education

  20. Teachers Assign student roles and responsibilities Display Set-Up Directions Pose Challenge Question Students Complete team roles Follow steps of the Set-Up Directions Discuss the Challenge Question and make predictions Get Ready • Occurs during the first 5-7 minutes of class • Sets purpose for learning and establishes set-up routine Johns Hopkins University Center for Technology in Education

  21. Tasks Listen Read Role Cards Think about learning Talk to team members Get materials and prepare for use Follow schedule Tools & Strategies Visual Timer Recorded phrases for team roles Get Ready Johns Hopkins University Center for Technology in Education

  22. Indicator: Recognize and describe the processes involved with changing materials from one state to another. Objectives: Classify materials as solids, liquids, and gases. Recognize that heating causes liquids to evaporate changing them to gases. Recognize that cooling causes gases to condense into liquids. Sample Daily Challenge Question Relate this question directly to your curriculum indicators as well as to your student objectives. Students should discuss this daily Challenge Question. Challenge Question: How does temperature affect solids, liquids, and gases? Johns Hopkins University Center for Technology in Education

  23. Teachers Vary presentation strategies to meet various learning styles Use visual, auditory, and tactile aids to enhance presentation Use strategies to elicit responses from all students Provide structured handouts to guide students Students Complete interactive presentation activities Think about how the Challenge Question relates to teacher presentation Launch Teacher Presentation Teacher presents information or models strategies Johns Hopkins University Center for Technology in Education
