As a special education teacher here in Hawaii, it is important to make sure students have all the accommodations they need to be successful in school and outside the classroom. Each student has an IEP with accommodations to help them be successful. Some of these accommodations allow the use of visual aides during our math classes. As classroom teachers, we try our best to make these accommodations but using the older SMART board we that have makes it difficult to create clear and visually appropriate lessons. A new television will meet the needs of my students clearer and larger images for students who are visually impaired or take longer to process images.
Each lesson I begin with a warm up math activity that I would project on the TV. I then create a video of myself completing the sample problems and doing it step by step. I then create a presentation that will be shown on the the instead of trying to use the dry erase board. We use different online applications that review material like a game show that will be broadcasted on the TV as well. Students create their own beginning of the year presentations that will be presented on the TV. Lastly this could be helpful when showing videos of real life math situations, like contraction and architecture when dong angles and word problems. Using the TV for distance learners and IEP meetings will be a huge asset.
