Osmo and Dash and Dot

HThe first toy that I played with is called Dash and Dot. This toy was fun, but it is something students can learn to code through apps that Dash and Dot robots provide for free.

Next, the other tool that students can use to play with words, patterns, and other development appropriate games is called Osmo.

I will definitely buy these materials for my students. I can't wait for them to use it.

Here's a few links that provide detailed information about the Dash and Dot robots and Osmo:

Reflection: Social Story

Social stories are great way to visually show how to behave in social situations. Teachers will always have students with behavior promblems or disabilities, and teachers will have no clue how to improve or help the students with their behaviors or disabilities. That is why social stories are great way to improve and help the students' behaviors and disabilities. iPads are usually used to create social stories because there are benefits that comes with them. You could make a video or a story on a behavior problem such a student who can't keep their hands to him or herself. 

This picture below gives you an example how to create social story, however, you can get creative using realistic pictures to give students a better example.

  

 

You can also use apps like shadow puppet and show me app to make videos about this social story example. 

Social stories are useful because it has been proven students improve their behavior and learn to work around with their disabilities.
