- To change default slide changes for Google Slides, you can adjust the microseconds delay in HTML.
- Google Forms provides instant feedback to students and teachers, can link additional resources to find answers to any questions that were answered incorrectly.
- How do teachers go about covering the costs of online subscriptions, resources, supplies, technology, etc.

Today's Reflection:
- Prescriptive Assessment
I know you mentioned this term earlier on in the course but I was not very familiar with it when you brought it up again today. I did some research and I think I have a better understanding of it now. I used to always think of this as a pre-assessment activity or quiz before entering a unit or new topic but I see it more as a form of diagnosing specific needs and adaptations in order to plan ahead and ensure every student is able to find success. I'm not sure if this is correct, but I would assume this would be in a team setting with Resource, Classroom Teacher, EA, Psychologists, Physicians, and the student's parents.
- Teacher Reimbursements
I've always wondered how budgets work when it comes to purchasing online subscriptions, resources, classroom supplies, small tech...do schools often have budgets available for teachers for these types of purchases? If not, are these items claimable on our tax returns? If teachers are expected to pay out of pocket for these things, are there any other pro tips you may have about how to keep costs down?

ReplyDeletePrescriptive assessment is often used in reference to special needs students but could be more broadly understood to mean a personalized approach to teaching that is a bit more selective than a blanket expectation that every student needs to follow the curriculum to the letter. I could read long before I ever went to school so Grade 1 was hell I was keen to get on to the good stuff. LOL.
ReplyDeleteYes, always a bit of a sore point with teachers, getting reimbursed for out of pocket expenses. That is why I have tried to build this course around mostly free things.
