Burke County Schools DTL Conference

Choose it Maker presentation: This system allows our complex EC students access to curriculum through a multi-model electronic choice board that can be tailored to everyday learning throughout the school day. Customized boards can be created to individualize learning needs and check understanding. This system is easy to learn and implement. It is online so it can be accessed easily throughout the school on any device. The program allows the choice boards to be quickly shared to the students iPads/devices and can be utilized via touch screen, EyeGaze, switch, mouse, and scanning. It also provides excellent data for progress monitoring.

AT Learning Lab presentation: Assistive Technology (AT) is a comprehensive term that covers any support that allows students with extra needs the ability to complete activities independently. From complex kids to students that need programs to type out math work, AT allows students a level of independence that empowers them. The idea behind having a learning lab with all types of AT set up would allow for teachers/staff to use all the tools themselves and see the benefits for our students. Participants in the conference will be given the opportunity to explore tools and experience as the students would experience the tools. The group will work through scenarios to better understand the AT's positive impact on the students.
