My Students

My classroom is an autistic support classroom servicing seven boys. Being first to third grade classroom, but mostly third graders, we have a class of energetic personalities who are very passionate about technology.

In order to keep them on track with their goals, but also keep them engaged and entertained, technology would be an excellent way to accomplish all of the above!

I have seen how effective technology with autistic support classrooms has been, and I am extremely excited to implement myself.

My Project

In my classroom, we like to utilize a rotation of stations through out the day both during our math and literacy blocks. The students are doing great getting back into the swing of classroom work and direction instruction with their teacher.

But my students could use a station that is both academic and reinforcing for them.

Through the use of these Amazon Fires, they could practice the important skill of using technology while working on personal goals in teacher-selected apps. Not only will this station be academic, but technology has been identified as a major reinforcer for all my students.
