SUMMARY:How Virtual Reality Is Supporting Students with Diverse Needs and Learning Styles
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Glenn Collins\, Global VP of Sales and Marketing\, Veative; and Diana Lang\, Assistive Technology Lead\, Halton District School Board (Ontario\, Canada) \nSponsored by Veative Labs \nWatch the Recording\nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nVirtual reality (VR) provides many benefits to learners\, such as immediate engagement\, enhanced motivation\, and hands-on experience without risks. Students with special education needs\, such as students who have an ADHD diagnosis\, autism\, or learning disability\, can receive the extra help and practice they need through self-paced lessons in a VR format that is engaging and motivational. For many students with special education needs\, the ability to focus is a struggle along with memory retention. The use of VR software can significantly help students address their lagging skills and build their confidence and self-esteem. \nWatch this edWebinar to learn how VR can help students with special education needs develop knowledge\, skills\, and attitudes in ways that can be otherwise challenging. We discuss how VR affords a truly personal experience for students and what that means for students with diverse needs and learning styles that arise from their disabilities. Find out how differentiated learning in a regular education classroom is made easy by utilizing VR. \nViewers also learn how to access lessons on any Chromebook\, laptop\, MacBook\, or iPad through “WebXR\,” without needing a VR headset. Through immersive VR technology\, software and hardware users can immerse themselves into a virtual experience or location thereby providing a more impactful lasting memory of that experience. In a VR setting\, students can interact with what they see as if they were there. The non-judgmental nature of the VR experience allows students to engage in experiences as often as needed to obtain mastery at their own pace and build confidence. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to teachers\, education technology leaders\, and school and district leaders of the middle and high school grades. \n\nAbout the Presenters \nGlenn Collins has been working with educators to improve learning outcomes through the utilization of technology for almost 40 years. He is passionate about the impact that immersive learning is having on learners globally and how it is transforming the way we engage students. \n\nDiana Lang is an assistive technology lead in the Halton District School Board in Ontario\, Canada. She is part of a team responsible for providing management of assistive technology services\, support and leadership across the system. As an AT Lead\, Diana looks to help educate and innovate using various modalities of assistive technology. Being a longtime special educator\, she is passionate about incorporating strategies and tools to support a diverse range of learners including online learning and building confidence and independence through the integrated use of various assistive technologies. She has been a special education department head for 14 years prior to taking on the role of AT Lead\, fostering support\, understanding and skill building for students and their families. She is currently not only an AT lead but also an online math instructor for T.V.O. and teaches ESL students online worldwide.

Online learning was the best bad option when schools had to weather shutdowns over the past couple of years. Educators know that face-to-face instruction is optimal for most learners most of the time. But one of the bright spots to come out of our recent experience is a better understanding of where virtual instruction does work well. Many educators are now thinking about where these hard-won lessons can be applied in a targeted way. \nThis edWebinar provides educators with ideas and strategies from front-line practitioners on how online learning is making a difference in very different environments. This shift is a global phenomenon\, so our two United States-based educators are joined by an expert from the United Kingdom. \nThe session covers how three different organizations are using online learning\, and a lively discussion fueled by audience questions dives deeper into the topic. Viewers have a broader perspective on where online approaches can improve student outcomes. They are also provided with a white paper that reviews the funding sources for online learning recovery under ESSER\, ESSA\, and state initiatives. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to K-12 teachers\, tutors\, school and district leaders\, and education technology leaders. \n\nAbout the Presenters \nTim Sun is a math and physics teacher at Northern Academy of the Arts in Middletown\, New York.

SUMMARY:How Administrators Can Utilize the Science of Reading to Achieve Equity in Literacy
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Eyal Rav-Noy\, Head of Product\, Capit Learning\nModerated by Jeanette Russell\, VP of Customer Success\, Capit Learning \nSponsored by Capit Learning \nWatch the Recording\nLearn more about viewing the live presentation and the recording\, earning your CE certificate\, and using our new accessibility features. \nCan the Science of Reading help schools and districts foster instructional equity and high achievement for all students? Too many students\, especially in K-2\, will not achieve grade-level goals this school year unless they make rapid gains over the spring and summer months. \nThis edWebinar explores how schools and districts can utilize reading science and cognitive science to help their K-2 students make rapid and lasting literacy gains by focusing on decoding\, encoding\, and other critical phonemic awareness and phonics skills. This session challenges the status quo by overturning many false assumptions about how kids learn to read. \nWe accomplish this end by putting educators in their students’ shoes and making them feel what it’s like to learn to read for the first time (let’s be honest\, we all forgot how we learned to read!).

Instead of waiting for problems to arise and backpedaling to re-teach\, setting up proactive and preventative systems can help reduce challenging behaviors\, increase learning\, and improve the class climate. Over the past several years when teaching has been at its hardest\, classrooms that utilize efficient classroom-management systems and strategies are able to thrive even in adversity. \nWe all want to thrive\, not simply survive. In this edWebinar\, the presenters cover several preventative classroom/behavior-management strategies for all levels that can be used while working with students with autism to make your classroom run like clockwork and be a safe and positive environment for everyone. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to educators\, especially special education teachers\, of the PreK through elementary grades. \n\nAbout the Presenters \nFrankie Kietzman is a sales development associate for STAGES® Learning with experience teaching as an elementary teacher\, self-contained autism teacher for elementary and secondary students\, and an autism specialist and coach for teachers dealing with challenging behaviors.
