ThingLink

FM Advocacy Projects

Students created "hotspot" active labels and descriptions for the proper use of their FM/DM equipment to be used for instructing their classroom teachers and peers.

PowToons Advocacy Project

Student created presentation for the purpose of alerting their new teachers to their necessary IEP accommodations in the classroom, during classroom assessments, and during standardized testing, such as the new PARCC assessment.

Classroom Communication Barriers and Necessary Strategies

Using Powtoon & YouTube

Students created Powtoon presentations discussing the speaker, listener, and environmental communication barriers they recognize at home and school. They then suggest strategies for those issues and advocate for what strategies can be used to help. Presentations like these are used to inform their classroom teachers, peers and families about their listening challenges.

Student Led IEP Project

8th grade students independently complete Mrs. Kinder's WebQuest activities to improve their understanding of the law IDEA and their individual IEP's. Then that student creates a script to facilitate their ability to lead their own 8th grade IEP meetings, reflect on their goal progress, request necessary accommodations, and discuss their transition plans for future success at high school and beyond!

Student Led IEP Meeting Invitation to Team Using PowToon

Students use PowToon to advocate for themselves by creating invitations to send to their IEP teams, alerting them to the date of their approaching IEP transition meetings, which they will lead!

Student Fall Inservice Project

Students use their learned knowledge on their individual hearing losses, amplification, and communication strategies to inservice their teachers in the fall using Google slides.

Student iMovie Communication Styles, Barriers, and Strategy Use

Students take examples from their own communication breakdows and demonstrate passive, aggressive, and assertive styles of repair strategy use. iMovie pojects are used both as visual educational tool for students learn to recognize, from other student iMovie projects, speaker, listener and environmental causes of breakdown and the communication styles employed. The iMovie projects also allow a real-world application to allow students practice enacting how strategies would look and sound in real-time with their own examples.
