This article covers how iPads can be used to support learning for students with autism. Special education teachers have seen an increase in educational implementation using tech tools like iPads in order to differentiate instruction for sped students with autism. iPads which are handheld allows students with autism to move around while learning is happening and they are able to learn at their own pace and with minimal interruption or disruption. The article states how the difficulty is the purchase of personal iPads for students but like in the case of my campus there is funding set aside for this particular purchases. We also have a sped department that provides as much as needed for our students with disabilities which is wonderful.

I'll admit it, I have fallen for these devices as a babysitting tool. Once I stopped myself and realized that I was doing a disservice to my own daughter, I took the approach of being a co-engaged parent with my daughter's use of the iPad.

Every teacher should create a list of apps that work/don't work for their teaching purposes. |
It's like being back in the classroom. This afternoon I have discovered this interesting article........after taking a workshop on 'iPads to support Writing' this morning. Typical. There are a couple here I haven't used or explored. I find that articles like this often trigger my thinking back to "I use to use that" or "That's right I downloaded that but didn't have a purpose at the time......".
