My special education students are visual learners. Through our in-classroom and remote experiences in the past year, I have noticed that they still learn best when shown clear examples of what they are being asked to do by a teacher. Of course, in person, this is much easier to achieve. However, when I was teaching remotely, the lighting in my home and the tools I had at my disposal were not optimal or always visually stimulating. Even if they are home, I realized that they need to see me physically and clearly demonstrating what I am teaching! Through my daily live instruction, I found this especially true when it came to mathematics! It was challenging to hold my own camera to record myself writing math equations in dull colors on paper, which was often difficult for the students to see. I also struggled with this in regards to graphic organizers for writing. They truly benefit from watching me demonstrate how to fill them out (as opposed to typed instructions with a voice-over on a slide). Utilizing child-friendly, colorful activities through Teachers Pay Teachers, and by creating my own activities that I can present on solid white backgrounds with great lighting/a camera stand to support live or prerecorded lessons, I will provide more engaging content to my students!
