What many people don't understand about working with students with Autism is that what might work for one student may not work for another. This is true when it comes to the programs we use, the materials we create, the words or visuals we use, all the way down to the types of technology. Teaching students with Autism requires a lot of flexibility, structure, dependability, and a sense of humor. During Covid19 and distance learning, my students with Autism quickly learned a few tricks of the trade when using computers. Their favorite thing they learned was that closing the laptop quickly shuts everything off and takes a while to start again before they can get back to work. This was where a sense of humor really came in handy. Another thing we discovered during distance learning was that a touchscreen laptop really just isn't the same as an iPad. For one, they still close shut very quickly. We also discovered that while using the touchscreen feature, it is extremely easy to accidently click the touch pad or they keyboard and click or close something accidentally. These technology tricks and discoveries have carried over into the classroom and are continuing to impact our learning. Having classroom iPads that are up to date, will allow us to use our online learning programs with a compatible device and fewer external obstacles to learning. iPads will allow students to be locked into a program using guided access, increasing time on task and less wasted time closing and reopening programs! iPads will also be used for reinforcement! Who doesn't love a few minutes of a brain break looking at your favorite videos on YouTube?! In a class of 7 students, 5 iPads will get us closer to 1:1 technology. Thank you for your donation!
