SENIA 2020 | BEYOND INCLUSION Embracing the Integrated Experience

Converting printed classroom and curriculum material into accessible, digital content is essential when considering an inclusive classroom. The printed lesson worksheet or the textbook that weighted a ton, served us in the past. Print as the only option is a problem, it was a one size fits all model of learning content delivery - no consideration for individual students need to read, reflect and express their understanding differently.

Educational technology has changed all this, providing an ever increasing range of digital tools to support inclusive classrooms. How? By providing students with digital content, and in so doing providing multiple ways to access and process information, and multiple ways to reflect, respond and express their understanding.

The thing is, creating digital content is more than just turning the worksheet into a PDF and sharing with our students. Access to a digital document is one thing, but more importantly providing students with a variety of opportunities to process, reflect and respond is key.

This session will provide an introduction to the importance of creating digital content in an inclusive classroom. Participants will leave with practical strategies to help them navigate the dos and don’ts of creating accessible, inclusive digital content in their classroom.
