Digital Competence Framework for Educators (DigCompEdu) The teaching professions face rapidly changing demands, which require a new, broader and more sophisticated set of competences than before. The ubiquity of digital devices and applications, in particular, requires educators to develop their digital competence. Download your copy of the framework here! The European Framework for the Digital Competence of Educators (DigCompEdu) is a scientifically sound framework describing what it means for educators to be digitally competent. It provides a general reference frame to support the development of educator-specific digital competences in Europe. 5 Sources for AAC/AT Webinars — NWACS by Tanna Neufeld, MS, CCC-SLP (Speech-Language Pathologist); NWACS President As AAC Awareness Month comes to an end, we wanted to help you keep this positive momentum going all year long with some great free and fee-based webinar resources offering exciting topics in AAC and AT!

Assistive Technology Social Media to Follow When he founded Facebook in 2004, Mark Zuckerberg probably did not realize what he was doing for the world of assistive technology (AT). In the early days of social media, Facebook was primarily used to keep tabs on the comings and goings of friends and acquaintances. Nobody knew that it would evolve into one of the most helpful informational resources for many professional fields. Assistive technology development has paralleled that of social media. During the last 10 years, the number of technology tools that have become available for people with learning disabilities has grown at a staggering rate. Trying to stay abreast of every new development is difficult.

Five Educational Learning Theories Cognitive learning theory looks at the way people think. Mental processes are an important part in understanding how we learn. The cognitive theory understands that learners can be influenced by both internal and external elements. Plato and Descartes are two of the first philosophers that focused on cognition and how we as human beings think. Many other researchers looked deeper into the idea of how we think, spurring more research. Create movies, animations & collages - Android - Google Photos Help If you delete a movie, animation or collage, it won't delete any photos that you used to make the movie, animation, or collage.

How to Make a Movie With iMovie on an iPhone or iPad Apple’s iMovie application comes free with new iPhones and iPads. It allows you to make home videos, combining multiple clips, inserting photos, adding transitions, applying a soundtrack, and using other effects. If you just want to trim a video or cut out a clip, you can use the Photos application. But, for anything more complicated, you’ll want to use iMovie. IDEA The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is the federal law that secures special education services for children with disabilities from the time they are born until they graduate from high school. The law was reauthorized by Congress in 2004, prompting a series of changes in the way special education services are implemented. These changes are continuing today and they affect the delivery of special education and related services in your state.

Synchronous Learning vs. Asynchronous Learning in Online Education What’s the difference between synchronous learning and asynchronous learning? The answer could have a huge impact on your online education experience. Online education has grown in popularity and accessibility, attracting students with its schedule-friendly format options. These formats can be grouped broadly into two categories: synchronous and asynchronous. Synchronous learning is online or distance education that happens in real time, often with a set class schedule and required login times. Asynchronous learning does not require real-time interaction; instead, content is available online for students to access when it best suits their schedules, and assignments are completed to deadlines.
