O At 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.
O Students use their pictures (a small 2X2
photograph) to indicate their center
choices.
17. Work with Teacher Center
O During work with teacher time, students
have an opportunity to work one-to-one
with teacher or paraprofessional, on
specific student’s IEP objectives.
O The i-pad has motivating activities and
direct teach lessons that can be used
during this time.
O Other students are moving through
structured learning centers, and
independent work time.
19. Communication Development
O Time is devoted to developing language with
students’ communication devices.
O Teacher spends time one to one with students;
other students get time to work with the iPad or
work in a center.

communication with certain students.

students during therapy time.

23. iPad apps: Splashtop
O 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.
24. Things to know about Splashtop
O Price fluctuates throughout the year
(Currently the iPad version is $9.99)
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.
