Notes de l'éditeur
- Welcome! I’m Laurie Grant - Teacher of Deaf/Hard of Hearing and Special Ed Lead Teacher @ Key Elementary. And I’m Emily Whiteside – Speech/Language Pathologist (SLP). Laurie and I have worked together for about 15 years. We’re going to share our Low-Cost/ No-Cost Web Video project – a technology solution to an instructional problem at our school. You will notice a title change from what we advertised – Web Video is a better description of our product.
- We invite you to jump in with your own ideas, thoughts, comments about common problems and solutions unique to your setting at any point along the way. We will also answer questions at the end of the presentation. We will Describe the learning problem facing us; Present our proposed solution and the process used to create it; Demonstrate the product; and Provide some tips to help you create your own product
- School Profile Key Elementary is a small, high poverty K-5 Title 1 school (350 students) in a big school district (Muscogee County). We have a high percentage of transient students (About 25%) and English Language Learners ( 8%). We are also a Cornerstone Literacy school with high expectations for students. We consistently make Adequate Yearly Progress. But, most significantly, we are home to the Deaf/Hard of Hearing program in MCSD.
- Who are we? Program Full-time Staff includes: 4 Deaf Education Teachers 1 Speech/Language Pathologist 1 Sign Language Interpreter 1 Sign Language Technician 1 Substitute Sign Language Interpreter Also have an audiologist, OT, and PT Classroom Arrangements 5 Co-taught classes – teachers are spread out on two hall-ways 1 Full-time Pull-out class Because of co-teaching, schedules are rigid – no time for coordination during the day. Special Equipment to enhance Communication Carpet or rugs over tile Tennis balls on chair/table legs Sound Treated HVAC systems Sound Field Systems And Personal FM systems for students
- WHO are our Students? 13 Deaf/Hard of Hearing Students – KDG – 5th HETEROGENOUS GROUP degree of loss -- range from mild (1) to Profound. Most in the severe to profound group types of loss – sensory neural, conductive, mixed, and auditory neuropathy Coexisting conditions: Treacher Collins, Smith Magenis Syndrome, Autism, Cognitive Impairments, Cerebral Palsy Amplification Type (personal hearing aid, FM system, cochlear implants) Communication Type - 75% rely on sign language; others use speech Needs Language Proficiency and Literacy 18 months language age in kindergarten – a very rough average. Continue with a language deficit throughout their time with us – all areas of language (grammar, vocabulary, phonology) Vocabulary skill is a particularly critical area for success in school. The average reading grade level for deaf adults is 4th grade. Interaction and Instruction in their primary language 75 % of our students depend upon a visual language -- sign language-- to communicate adequately. Those who do not use sign language as a primary language, use it for clarification. 90% live with families who are not proficient in sign language Summary – Our students: Can’t communicate well with parents, peers, faculty; Can’t understand the language of the curriculum; Sign language is visual, not alphabetic. Cannot be written. Requires communicators to be face-face or to use video. .
- 10% Have functional signing skills 50% Report that they have a sign language Dictionary at home, but that they have difficulty finding academic vocabulary signs in it. 90% report that they High-speed Internet Need help learning ASL Would use a Website for academic vocabulary several times a week if they had it available to them. WHAT WOULD YOUR FAMILIES TELL YOU? HAVE YOU ASKED?
- Read comments ? OR let audience read it. Parents Can’t communicate adequately with their children for activities of daily living or for supporting academics. Because they don’t know sign language.
- THINK OF YOUR AUDIENCE, THEIR CHARACTERISTICS, THEIR INTERESTS, THEIR NEEDS.
- Students Can’t communicate well with parents, peers, faculty Can’t understand the language of the curriculum Most of our students need sign language to learn. Our students need to know basic vocabulary and academic vocabulary. Parents Most of our parents don’t know sign language. Can’t communicate adequately with their children for activities of daily living or for supporting academics. Our parents need to have access to signs for the vocabulary of the school and help for supporting their students with homework. Faculty Even with online sign dictionaries, there is little out there for finding signs for academic vocabulary. Most of it must be fingerspelled or invented. Faculty members do not always use the same signs for words, especially for academic signs. As with spoken languages, signs have regional variations (similar to dialects). Unlike other languages, because sign language is visual, not alphabetic, when one of us needs to know a sign, we require face-face or video communication. We don’t have any planning time during the school day and have not been able to find a consistent, mutually agreeable time to collaborate after school. Furlough days have not helped. Our faculty needed a method for determining mutually acceptable academic signs and an efficient way to remember and share those signs with students, teachers, parents. We had identified the problem years ago, but had trouble executing a solution.
- IDENTIFIED BARRIERS Budget – no money for materials and little available for academic vocabulary. Can’t pay someone to develop specialized vocabulary resource Language – No ASL signs for some academic words. Parents and reg. ed teachers don’t know signs. DHH faculty may use different signs. Time – too many demands already. Not enough planning time for synchronous work. Motivation – some have become complacent and have not sustained initial expressed interest. Filtering Policy – district Net police shut us down Access – poor language skills; lack of sign language instruction; academic words w/out signs WHAT ARE YOUR ROADBLOCKS?
- DESIGN We knew that we needed: To Collaborate to Decide upon signs Store signs To Differentiate instruction kid-friendly definitions, conceptually accurate graphics in child’s primary language of carefully selected academic vocabulary words To Communicate Visually Across time, space, and modality (asynchronous in two languages) to share between faculty, students, families Requirements Quick Easy Free Accessible on school Internet service Allow us some control over editing COULD A WIKI WORK FOR YOU? WOULD A WEBSITE OR BLOG BE A BETTER CHOICE?
- Georgia Performance Standards guided our selection. Our familiarity with the students’ language levels and the nature of normal language development has helped us to carefully select vocabulary to target. Unlike other aspects of language which mature at around 8 years of age, semantics (vocabulary) develops over a lifetime. These students need to know everything. We knew that we had to be strategic about what words we selected. Borrowing from the work of Beck, McKeown & Kucan (2002) we looked for words that: are important to the curriculum have utility or versatility for other subjects or situations, have instructional potential (usefulness), and whose concepts can be adequately communicated (difficulty of some abstract concepts). WHAT KNOWLEDGE BASE DO YOU NEED TO CONSULT? WHAT ARE YOUR AREAS OF STRENGTH THAT YOU CAN SHARE?
- Systems Design – our plan of action We thought that we would progress this way: 1- Use Video collaboration to work out uniform signs for academic vocabulary (raw video sharing using a private wiki and an in-house podcast site) 2- Create signed videos of vocabulary words and their definitions 3- Collaborate on an online repository for the vocabulary (an online multimedia dictionary with GPS alignment) 4- Stream the video to the repository using Video Streaming site 5- Also hoped to Involve students in production In practicality, the video collaboration to work out uniform signs was too cumbersome. A lot of work. We decided to go “low-tech”: walk next door or across the room to get a sign. This is not as desirable as two people are deciding the sign. BEFORE YOU DEVELOP HAVE A PLAN.
- DEMONSTRATION OF PRODUCT This is very much a “living dictionary” – a work in progress. It is evolving as we work on it. We’ve added GPS alignment, links to related games, videos, and other resources. But its primary purpose remains constant: share uniform signs for academic vocabulary with students, parents, and faculty provide a kid-friendly definition with an image. Go LIVE!! HOME: describe attributes MENU (always available) AROUND -- PENNY CHASE CLIMATE CONCLUDE COASTAL PLAIN Describe menu Dictionary pages A-Z – always accessible I need a sign -- DHH faculty use -- intention: request a sign for a word. Vocabulary to Add – DHH faculty use-- used as a que line for vocabulary to Pre-teach To Do - Webmaster use – organizes what needs to be done GPS – Reg. Ed/DHH faculty use – at-a-glance view of vocabulary by standard Resources – website resources/ vocabulary resources Contact Us – email link TIME FOR SOME FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT DO YOU LIKE THE FORMAT? ARRANGEMENT? NAVIGATION? COLORS? WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE
- Development of the product… We’ll do a walk through of the basic components.
