Personalizing iPad for All Learners
The accessibility features of the iPad are built in allowing all students to learn and create in ways that best fit their needs. These features will allow your students to make their learning more personal and will allow them to be more successful.
I have shared videos/tutorials on various accessibility features that can be put on students devices to allow them to be successful in their learning. There are several other features that can be added as well in which I will provide a link to all of the Apple Accessibility features in the lesson plan. One of the features that I have included is Speak Screen and Speak Selection in which allows students to listen to digital text being read aloud and highlights the words and sentences being spoken. Another feature that will allow your students to be successful is Dictation which allows you to speak into a microphone words you want typed on the iPad. Siri allows students to ask a question and get an immediate response. Safari Reader allows students to read a webpage without the distractions of ads and clutter. Then Assistive Touch allows students to use the iPad more easily and making their iPad more personal to them.
I have included the link to the videos to show to add all of these features on the students iPads. I have also added a cheat sheet that can be printed and hung up in classrooms for students.
