Visual aids help students to better engage with the content, and my English Language Arts co-teacher and I often use slideshows and other visual aids to dovetail with our lessons. Our class is inclusive, meaning we have many students who need individualized Special Education services for their specific learning disability or emotional disturbance. We also have English Language Learners in our class who need individualized attention during lessons to help them make connections to the content we are teaching. Visual aids, including pictures, models, charts, maps, videos, and slides help to make our lessons easier for our students to understand.
Stand up desks will aid in student learning because they will help my co-teacher and me better provide visual aids that are at the appropriate height for our students. We often use visual aids from our computers throughout our lessons to help students better comprehend content. For example, our class is currently reading the novel Inside Out & Back Again by Thanha Lai about a 10-year old girl who lives in South Vietnam in the early 1970鈥檚 during the Vietnam War. Digital world maps help students to better understand how the family must flee for their lives on a boat for thousands of miles rather than dying at the hands of Communist soldiers.
We also regularly use visuals in class to project sentence starters on a screen for our 鈥淭urn and Talk鈥 activities. These sentence starters provide students with multiple opportunities to practice using and improving their language skills. Stand up desks will also provide an alternative location where our students with emotional disturbance can learn and work as these students often struggle with sitting in a regular chair and desk combination.
