Guide for Newly Diagnosed Families
Wonderful resource for families struggling with what to do next!
Parent-teacher conferences were last week, and I tried something new this year. At the end of each conference, I gave the parents a piece of paper and a white crayon and asked them to write a message and/or draw a picture for their student. Then this week, I gave out the papers and had the kids paint with watercolors to find the message. The kids were absolutely wowed by this!
(I did have a couple of parent no-shows, so I wrote a message for those students myself, and told them so. They seemed just as thrilled!)
Another reason teachers should be paid more: Theyâre creative, engaging, and involve parents! And when the parents canât or wonât engage, they fill in the gaps! YAY FOR TEACHERS!!!
I love this idea.
Flying. It's something we take for granted these days. 40 or 50 years ago flying was an experience. You prepared for it, you wore nice clothes, you told all your friends that you would flying on an airplane, It was an event. Today... Not so much. Flying is almost as pedestrian as taking a bus ride. No more fun or excitement, just part of the routine. For children with autism and other special needs Flying is still an event. The change in routine, the noise, the unfamiliar surroundings, the crowds all contribute to an overwhelming and overstimulating experience that can causeâŚ
This is the coolest thing Iâve read about in weeks!
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is getting flamed for saying that sexually active women should be on birth control if they drink alcohol or should stop drinking before getting pregnant.
New advice from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention aimed at preventing fetal alcohol syndrome has created quite a stir.
The CDC estimates that about 3 million women âare at risk of exposing their developing baby to alcohol because they are drinking, sexually active and not using birth control to prevent pregnancy.â
About half of all pregnancies are unplanned. And according to the CDC report issued Tuesday, about 3 in 4 women âwho want to get pregnant as soon as possible do not stop drinking alcohol when they stop using birth control.â
So the CDC is now advising women to stop drinking if they are trying to get pregnant or not using birth control with sex. Thatâs right, abstain from drinking.

Get routines down first. Before diving into using all the cool tech equipment in your classroom, take time to get to know your class and get into a routine. Teacher Paula Barr doesnât put technology in the hands of her students for the first few weeks of school until routines, procedures and consequences have been established. âI want to set up a positive classroom environment,â says the second grade teacher, who has a blended classroom at Quail Run Elementary School in Lawrence, Kansas. Set tech rules together. Agree on rules about technology and collaborative group work as a class. Create a poster together and display the rules prominently in the room. Teach kids how to search safely. Using the Internet for educational research is a lot different from playing games online at home. Bing in the Classroom is a great starting place for students to get an idea of the digital world they are about to enter with short videos on how search works, staying safe online and evaluating search results. You can also get lesson plans from the Microsoft Educator Community website that teach kids in grades Kâ8 how to search the Web. Allow some playtime. When young students first get a chance to use the technology, let them have some fun. For instance, Barr might begin by letting her students click on a website to draw SpongeBob. âIf you get that play out of the way, they are much more apt to give me the serious work I want with the tech later,â she says. Be prepared with a back-pocket plan. Before the lesson starts, check out all the websites to make sure students have access to the ones you need, and block others that are inappropriate. Have a back-pocket plan when you do encounter a technology glitch (Itâs bound to happen at some point!), and be in the mind-set that you may need to shift gears, suggests Katie Owens, educational specialist with instructional technology for Henrico County Public Schools in Virginia. Practice purposefulness. If youâre passing out laptops, have kids wait until everyone has one and youâve given the OK before they power them up. You donât want the first students who get the laptops to just dive in on their own and get distracted before you give clear directions, says Jon Wirsing, also an instructional technology specialist in Henrico. Provide resources. When introducing new technology, spend time up front explaining to students where they can go for help, including Web resources. âYou want them to be problem solvers, own their learning and adjust when they need to,â says Wirsing. Give yourself a 360-degree view. Try setting up the computers in a circle with the screens facing inward. Then stand in the middle so you can have visual access to every studentâs work, suggests Shane Donovan, physics and robotics teacher for grades 10â12 at E.L. Haynes Public Charter School in Washington, D.C. You can also use a central computer that allows you to tap into your studentsâ devices and monitor what theyâre looking at in order to be certain theyâre staying safe online.

These are extremely important points to consider when incorporating technology into the classroom. Its purpose is to improve the educational process not add another burden to students. It is easy to forget that not everyone has internet access at home or a device to use. This is why I am against flipped classrooms in the K-12 setting unless the school has implemented a 1:1 program AND found a way to provide internet access to all students at home. Schools should not force students to go to the public library or stay late to simply complete their homework.
