VI. Assistive Technology

Understand human, equity and developmental issues surrounding the use of assistive technology to enhance student learning performance and apply that understanding to practice. ** Description: ** Using **voicethreading** to assess the students during the Reading Lesson. The student will identify the different characters and events from the story. The teacher will present the story using the document camera. As a warm up, the teacher will present the vocabulary form the story with a picture representing each vocabulary word. Students will point to the correct word/picture, demonstrating an understanding of the meaning. The students will listen while the story is being read. After the story the students will answer questions using the voice recorder. Each student will have their own picture and be used as their own identity in recording their answer.

** Reflection: ** The voicethreading was a beneficial activity**.** It gives the students a new was to answer questions and make decisions about the reading selection.. It is also another method of assessing the students reading comprehension, identifying the events and vocabulary using the voicethread application (website [|www.voicethread.com]).
