My educational need that I would like to meet is a way to allow for students to better understand the content that they are reading in the blended science program, particular students that are struggling readers and ESL students.
I would like to find an affordable, quality reader program and translation program) to meet the needs of students require materials read to them. I have many students with low reading levels and that are ESL students. In each of my blended science classes I have students that several different learning abilities. I feel that have a quality program that can read and/or translate material will help them with their learning. This will help differentiate instruction and give students more control over their learning.
This program should be used on a daily basis in the classroom. I would like to see the reader program be available to all students and staff to help differentiate learning.
My plan:
· Research and compare reading and translation programs focusing on accuracy, ease of use and cost.
· Test the programs in a classroom setting with multiple learners with multiple needs.
· Work with the district technology coordinator to get the program in the classrooms.
For this to be successful I will need the full support of my district and their technology department. I will also need to buy/find etc. a program that can be easily loaded on to student computers.
