As a special education teacher, I serve a diverse array of personalities in an ICT setting. In my classroom, I have a mixed group of students with disabilities who are impacted by their attention, focus, and ability to reach grade-level standards. During class instruction, they often struggle to stay engaged during remote lessons since they all have individual learning styles. Furthermore, this worldwide pandemic has affected their academic achievement greatly, but they seem to learn best when lessons are presented to them in a variety of different mediums using universally designed instruction.... this time, remotely! Being able to screen record my math lessons with audio while using an iPad can help support student learning in times of distance learning. Some students do not have reliable internet; thus, being able to provide them with color-coded recorded lessons that could be watched at any time, will help them continue learning regardless of where they’re learning or what their internet situation is. The iPad and Apple Pencil will be used to create color-coded lessons, as such can support mathematical thinking by helping students not only organize their thinking, and make thinking visible, but also make connections. Using the iPad for math lessons can also help strengthen visual representations to help internalize their learning.
