As we embark on what is sure to be an exciting second term students in grade 6 are focusing on their PFS value of Independence. The focus of their learning this month incorporated a lot of technology. PFS Occupational Therapist Laura joined our class on 3 separate occasions to support students in installing and using of Google Read and Write Chrome. All students can now accessed their educbe.ca accounts and use the tools installed to support their learning. Voice to text recognition, picture dictionary and a read back function are just a few of the tools designed to support students meet with success and be independent.
The tools are web based and attached to student's google account. These accounts can be accessed through any computer or smart device as long as you are using CHROME (not SAFARI) as your internet browser. Ask your son or daughter to show you some of their school documents, in DRIVE on Sky Science or the Iroquois Confederacy today! In another exciting step towards greater independence Students received their borrowed combination locks for their lockers to take ownership of an assigned space. For many using the lock was an exercise in frustration, but a task that everyone persevered through. Students will be happy to have learned this skill prior to their transition to junior high!
