O Give our session’s attendants some ideas that they could implement in their classrooms using a Mimio, Smartboard and an iPad.

Classroom SettingO Type of Class: Pre-School Program for

Children with Disabilities (PPCD) & Pre-School Academic Language Social Skills (PALS)

O Two classes: A.M. & P.M. (some campuses offer inclusion with daycare students)

O Age group: 3 - 5 yr. olds

Morning ActivityO Calendar activity adapted from a

lesson downloaded from SMART exchange.

O Integrate songs with activity and student with limited ability is given access to lesson through the Splashtop app on the iPad.

Learning CentersO3 to 5 structured learning

centers are introduced and open each day

OAt the beginning of the school year, centers begin very structured and assigned; students progress to a more independent level, where they make choices and transition independently.

OStudents select center and indicate their choice on the Centers board.

Table ActivitiesOActivities are based on thematic

units and are specific to student’s IEP objectives.

OThe i-pad has motivating activities and direct teach lessons that can be used during this time.

iPad apps: SplashtopO Splashtop is a remote desktop app available

for the iPad and iPhone (even Android version)

O The app enables us to utilize the iPad as a wireless slate with our students.

O It has increased accessibility for students with limited mobility or who struggle with reaching the Smartboard.

O Additionally, the app has allowed access to desktop applications (i.e. Boardmaker) during table time activities.

Things to know about Splashtop

O Price fluctuates throughout the year (Currently the iPad version is $4.99)

O In order for the app to work, the iPad and the computer its remoting into must be connected to the same network.

O The app works best when the computer it’s remoting into is connected to the internet through an ethernet cable.
