Through my teaching experience, I have worked with autistic learners, as well as those with ADHD and Dyslexia in an academic setting. I try my best to meet learners where they are by scaffolding- providing supports and room for growth.
Students will need to split their computer screen or use another device such as a cell phone or tablet for the game.
Parental guidance suggested. Learners will access a third party platform: gimkit.com/join or Kahoot.it. They do not need an account for either. I will give them a code to join our specific game. They will need to join on a different internet tab than the tab they have Outschool or Zoom on, or can join on another device.
