Fellow SPed Teachers:
I have recently been employed by a large public Junior High School as the Regular Education Initiative teacher in the computer lab. Students in these labs range from regular education students to EMH students who are basically non-readers. I am looking for lesson plans that can be incorporated into a Multimedia class that could be used successfully with a variety of these students. Thanks in advance for your support.
What are you going to be doing in there?
Or… what do the kids need?
Are you teaching something separate, or are they coming in with big classes or just with self-contained groups (would you be doing different things with different people?) It’s not clear to me what the regular or sped kiddos will be doing in the computer lab. (You could always teach ‘em to play solitaire and blackjack)
Keyboarding skills, however, don’t really require reading. I’d strongly recommend Diana Hanbury King’s Keyboarding SKills book — a different approach than most, and better suited to … well, anybody, but especially sped kids. It’s at www.epsbooks.com.
And stuff that teaches them how to use the silly computer software would be good, too, but may be harder to get in formats that aren’t heavy on the reading.
