I found the information on questioning very helpful.
A good questioning technique is to call on individual students rather than calling on the student who raises his or her hand or shouts out the answer first. If you let students shout out the answers or call on only those who raise their hands it won’t be long before only a few students are answering questions. The other students quickly learn that they can disengage since they will not be called upon. Students with learning disabilities have learned to become invisible in classes because they seldom are able to process and answer questions quickly enough to raise their hand. Knowing that any student can be called upon helps to keep the entire class engaged in the discussion.
It's better call on students to respond instead of allowing students to raise their hand to respond. This leads to only a few students doing all the responding. There are a variety of options for students with learning disabilities.
Guided notes is such an easy way to accomodate a struggling student and allow for processing later as they study.
I was amazed to find out that there are many apps available to provide accommodations and modification assistance! This seems like a very good option for students in this day and age since everyone always has their phone in their hand. Identifying apps that are compatible with my lessons and content is something that I would like to implement! I especially like the idea of a text to speech app. A lot of students do not have the attention span that is compatible with reading long passages or copious amounts of notes.
