It was such an honor to be able to travel to Austin with my DLC team for a week this month to learn from other forward thinking educators at the Texas Computer Education Association (TCEA) Conference. It is hard to be away from my campuses for a week, but the conference allowed me to deepen my learning and bring back some ideas for educators to use in their classroom. Over the next 5 weeks I will be sharing my top 5 takeaways from TCEA! If there is something you find useful and want to chat about it, let me know! #1: Accessibility features in ios 11Apple offered so many good sessions to highlight some of their education features. One of my favorite sessions was titled "Learning with iPad: It's Personal". This session focused on accessibility features on the iPad that can help ALL students feel successful in learning.
After the simulations we were given time to explore some of the accessibility features on the iPad. My two favorite features are Typing Feedback and Speak Selection. Both of these features help struggling or beginning readers be more independent while writing or reading on the iPad. Check out the instructions and videos below to see how they work. A couple more features worth mentioning are Screen recording with iOS 11 and Scanning a QR code with the Camera App. These features save you so many taps, allow you to use less apps, and you do not get those annoying advertisements in the QR reader apps! You can read about all of the accessibility features from the session in the presentation below.
