Hoping to flood classrooms with technology to support learning for all. Supporting those who struggle with reading by encouraging the world to read with their ears! There are 3 ways to read - with your eyes; with your fingers; or with your ears. All three are legitimate forms of making meaning from text.Mrs. Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01856887585190106372noreply@blogger.comBlogger21125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1316518125459586680.post-12870574559968988732014-07-04T09:56:00.000-05:002014-07-04T09:59:26.829-05:00Survey Says Part Deux....Click the link for the results of the second survey!<br />

Today we learned about reading with our fingers. Tyler showed us how he uses a Brailler and how he reads Braille. We made multiplication flashcards, looked through Braille books, and talked about Braille on money. Tyler made us each an index card with our name on it. Tyler also reads with his ears. 6W at LVSMrs. Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01856887585190106372noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1316518125459586680.post-18422146474952193062014-06-05T15:09:00.002-05:002014-06-05T15:28:01.627-05:00P-C LanguageWhen discussing a book with at person who is blind or dyslexic, it is important to use the word "reading", not listening.

Survey was out of 80; therefore the higher the number at the top of each bar, (presumably) the more happy and interested that student is at school. Student names have been removed for obvious reasons.<br />

This is too bad, because many of our students have enjoyed and benefited from the low-tech, distraction-free features of this writing tool. For some students, physically handwriting written responses, stories or essays requires a heavy cognitive load. They have to concentrate more on letter and word formation; therefore their ideas do not become fully developed. Using a keyboard (or a dictation tool) can be very powerful for these students to reduce the cognitive load and allow their ideas to take precedent.<br />

It has been a busy time and I think I am also a little apprehensive about blogging in general. Book, book, book (Chicken noises)<br />
Here's the update:<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidZjeJGDiqbjKeMpW7Gc8O-OwrG4moPF36KNUQa2EaKJwbNXrwOWmzaffbZp-7z8My7OjGtr48c38QHUWh1GWBFFHXY4G-px1eycXhwUfYxCJq4uLJ8igNU9BIJzULE8ieQYfsh-kPiFzV/s1600/Survey+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidZjeJGDiqbjKeMpW7Gc8O-OwrG4moPF36KNUQa2EaKJwbNXrwOWmzaffbZp-7z8My7OjGtr48c38QHUWh1GWBFFHXY4G-px1eycXhwUfYxCJq4uLJ8igNU9BIJzULE8ieQYfsh-kPiFzV/s1600/Survey+1.JPG" height="320" width="272" /></a>The surveys were administered the second week back after spring break, and we managed to get everyone! Here is it at the left in 2 jpeg files. I don't yet know how to upload a <i>Word</i> document or a <i>PDF</i> into a post using <i>Blogspot</i>- I'll put that on my Summer Learning To-Do list. The survey has 3 negatively- and 17 positively-worded statements, a comment section, and a reflection on how the survey was completed. I spent a considerable amount of time researching and developing this survey, but I am not a statistician, so I am sure there are many imperfections. I won't be generalizing the findings, other than to use them for discussion and to support future planning for instruction and assessment, with a technology twist, in our school.<br />
<br />

Staff support was available if requested/required. Each rank (Never, Sometimes, Usually, Always, & Not Sure) was assigned a score (1,2,3,4,0 respectively).The 3 negative statements were scored in reverse. If students responded the same way to the negatively and positively- paired statements (example - I enjoy school and I do NOT like school), I had a conference with them to determine their thoughts. So, presumably the higher the score, the more happy and interested the student was a school. The maximum amount of points possible was 80. Anecdotes from the comment section were recorded and pie charts were made for using the reflection part - most of the students completed the survey independently - answer (a). Results were shared with the classroom teachers and the tech tools were embedded in the classrooms - so far the NEO2 seems to get the most use. The survey did take a good chunk of time to hand score, so I have plans to use <i>SurveyMonkey</i> for the June edition (along with some edits). The results were then entered into an Excel Spreadsheet and shared with the teachers - stayed tuned for my next post!<br />

to administer pre- and post- project and Maplewood will provide us with

data too; however, Maxine felt that because of the short duration (April to June),
it would be impossible for children’s cognitive processes and achievement levels
to show changes. Furthermore, if a child has a true Learning Disability, they
will be even slower to show growth – three months is just not enough time! However, we still
can access informal achievement data through our school-wide assessment tools,
for interest sake. At LVS, we collect individual student information in October
and May each year to </span><span style="line-height: 17.1200008392334px;">informally</span><span style="line-height: 107%;"> assess literacy and numeracy levels. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

We had a class meeting and decided to make anchor charts to help us "walk the walk" after we "talked the talk." This chart was <u>completely</u> conceptualized and created by one of our students who best reads with his ears. I am very proud of him, because he honoured his strengths and learning styles with this chart. There are pictures and colours for visual learners; movable and 3-D pieces for tactile learners; and words for the word smart! He was also able to identify 4 things that help him as a learner which demonstrates some self smarts!Mrs. Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01856887585190106372noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1316518125459586680.post-33528093759455663422014-03-20T15:48:00.001-05:002014-04-03T21:54:03.040-05:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The PLAN</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It turns out that we get to start Makin' It Mainstream at LVS! Our school just received word that we have received a $900.00 school-based Seed Grant from <a href="http://www.manace.ca/" rel="nofollow">ManACE</a>! We are very excited and have already submitted purchase orders for 2 <a href="http://www.secrest.ca/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_35&products_id=3">NEO2</a> units; 1 <a href="http://www.staples.ca/en/Fujitsu-ScanSnap-S1300i-Duplex-Portable-Document-Scanner/product_104682_2-CA_1_20001">Mobile Scanner</a> ; and 2 <a href="http://store.apple.com/ca/product/FC540C/A/refurbished-ipod-touch-8gb-black" style="line-height: 107%;">iPod Touches </a><span style="line-height: 107%;">. We will also have access to some iPads already in service at our school. </span>We are hoping provide tools to help deepen
understanding and build self-esteem in students who have achieved minimal success in school.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">To get things started, an <i>LVS Engagement and Satisfaction Survey </i>has been created. It has 14 questions to assess how interested and happy each student is at school. There is room at the bottom for anecdotal comments for students to list what they feel they need to be successful at school. It has a Likert-type scale, and we will assign each response a numerical value. The higher the total, the more interested and happy that student is in school. It's not scientific, but will generate some useful information for us to use with our students. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Ten students have been formally identified for this project, but the benefits will reach others through role-modelling and conversations. Attendance will be tracked using Maplewood to see if there are any fluctuations. In a perfect world, attendance would improve, but the time span is rather short. Pre- and post-writing samples and a pre- and post-ear and eye reading samples will be collected. An<i> Excel</i> spreadsheet is ready to house this information. We are looking forward to carrying out this little bit of research in our school!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hats off to Mr. Hordeski and the grade 6, 7 and 8 students who helped make the digital story! Thank you for promoting learning for all at LVS!</span><br />

NAME CHANGE</h4>
Not sure if it was a smart idea or not, but I decided to change the name of my blog today to better reflect my intentions. While reading is very important; good learning is about writing and being numerate too. Technology needs to be mainstream, hence the name change! I think that with one follower it won't do too much damage, right 56Zander?! :)Mrs. Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01856887585190106372noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1316518125459586680.post-29283363066337617932014-01-14T20:38:00.000-06:002014-01-14T20:46:02.505-06:00<h4>
Don't Get Hung Up on the "D-word"!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: normal;">While the book, </span><i style="font-weight: normal;">Dyslexia Empowerment Plan</i><span style="font-weight: normal;">, has significantly shaped my philosophy of teaching and learning for all, I don't want readers of this blog to get hung up on the word </span><i style="font-weight: normal;"><a href="http://www.ncld.org/types-learning-disabilities/dyslexia/what-is-dyslexia">Dyslexia</a></i><span style="font-weight: normal;">.I have read the book with my ears twice, started an </span><a href="https://evernote.com/" style="font-weight: normal;">Evernote</a><span style="font-weight: normal;"> account with a binder devoted to information of interest to me, </span><span style="font-weight: normal;">collected items for my toolkit, and started piloting the ideas with a student and a classroom at my school. It is my belief that strategies outlined in the book and this blog will benefit </span>ALL<span style="font-weight: normal;"> learners, but particularly those who have been identified with a </span><a href="http://www.dsm5.org/Documents/Specific%20Learning%20Disorder%20Fact%20Sheet.pdf" style="font-weight: normal;">Specific Learning Disability</a> (<span style="font-weight: normal;">SLD). My plan is to flood the classroom with assistive technology with intent to make it mainstream, rather than an adaptation. Students identified with an SLD need to integrate their abilities into their lives and intervention is only one <span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">SMALL</span> part of their plan. </span></h4>

For students who are not mainstream readers, those that read with their eyes, it is important to help them craft a story to share with others about their differences in the ability to learn. The focus should be on the fact that they are not broken, they simply learn in different ways.<br />
<br />
Some people read with their ears or fingers rather than their eyes. So much emphasis is placed on eye reading in schools.<br />
<br />
The crafting of the story is powerful for many reasons; it helps the learner understand how they learn best; boosts their self-confidence; and it educates others. The story should be concise, informative, and humorous. It takes time to develop and to practice, but it is worth the effort. I have witnessed it's efficacy several times already.<br />
<br />
A sample:<br />
<br />
"My name is Bonnie. I have been identified as having Dyslexia. When I was younger, I used to ask to use the bathroom when I was supposed to <i>eye read</i> to teachers. I spent a lot of time in the washroom! Now I know that I read best with my ears! Books are waaaaaay more enjoyable!Mrs. Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01856887585190106372noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1316518125459586680.post-84791332367856942832013-11-24T12:03:00.002-06:002013-12-01T22:14:39.619-06:00This blog is still under construction.

I am going to have a go at blogging; more to help me focus my beliefs and thinking and make connections with others about the process of learning for ALL people. I have chosen to call the blog "Read it with your Ears" because I have been lately inspired by an author and his book about making learning accessible for all. I plan to include anecdotes from my experience; add links for helpful tools; and recommend books to read.Mrs. Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01856887585190106372noreply@blogger.com0Canada49.781264058178365 -98.87695312544.678126558178363 -109.20410162499999 54.884401558178368 -88.549804625000007
