Inclusive Technology

I am currently taking a course on accommodations, modifications, and assistive technology for my license and thought this resource was too cool not to share. I got it from the Teaching Channel and will share a couple of tools you can implement in the classroom for diverse learners:

  • YouTube- closed captioned feature can be turned on by clicking the "CC" button at the bottom. I use this even if I don't have a student who requires it. This is useful for ELL students as well as hearing impaired.
  • Read-and-Write- students can highlight text and have it read to them through the Chrome Extension.
  • Google Translate- Chrome Extension with many different languages so students can read in their first language.

Nitrogen and Carbon Cycle Foldable

I was inspired to create foldables for my 6th graders on the carbon and nitrogen cycles after viewing one created by the blog " The Inspired Classroom ".  She had created a much cuter one for the water cycle.  Please forgive my pictures, descriptions, and handwriting. :)     If you would like a free copy of the nitrogen foldable or carbon foldable , you can find it at My Teachers Pay Teachers.

Biomes Foldable

I had way too much fun making this.  My students are going to be learning about these biomes next and I created this example of the finished product and one with the pictures/words without the cuts.  I photocopied the sheet and shrunk it to 75%.  The students will cut it out, fold down the extra space on the left side, and glue it in their notebooks.  Underneath each tab, they will write characteristics of the biomes. I am clearly on a foldable kick!  Thank you snow days. :) I did create a digital version of this for you to download on my Teacher Pay Teachers. It's free!

Rubric Maker

I am a huge fan of project-based learning! As a result, I create lots of rubrics. Sometimes I write them myself and other times, I like to find premade ones to help me clarify the assessment piece. A co-worker in Colorado introduced me to Rubistar  years back. It's free and pretty user-friendly. They have several premade categories and criteria, but you can alter them to fit your needs. The website is old, but don't let that throw you off.
