Alex Dunn, a Speech-Language Pathologist for the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB), located in Oxford Mills, Ontario presented at the 10th Annual CESA 5 School-Based Speech-Language Pathology Institute. She explains how she uses SMART boards, iPads, Apple TV, Dropbox, software and a set of apps to support the principles of UDL in her practice. Here are some of the questions from the audience where she provided answers:
> How can my iPad work with my SMART Board?
> I noticed you using tricks like the Magnifying Glass to reveal information that looked hidden on your pages. How did you do that?
> As SMART Notebook collaborative learning software is not switch accessible, how can students who can’t access the SMART Board directly participate with their peers in lessons?
> How can SMART products help my students who have visual impairments as bigger is not necessarily better?
"Alex has been devoted over the last 16 years to exploring creative service delivery models to ensure ALL students, including those with severe communication challenges achieve the goal of meaningful educational and social participation. Most recently Alex has spearheaded the creation of Smart Inclusion, an initiative that combines assistive technology with emerging technology and pedagogy to support inclusion – making the impossible, possible for ALL students."
Disclaimer: This is not a personal endorsement of SMART technologies but a demonstration on how a combination of tools can be used to empower instruction and student learning. - Kathleen McClaskey
