Apple released iOS 12 at the beginning of September.  With this update there are quite a few changes in the settings menu.  In this blog I am including a tutorial on how to Enable Restriction in iOS 12.  I hope you find this helpful.

The Case Crusaders Presents "M.A.R.K."

As I mentioned last week,
Not all assistive technology options are high-tech.  Some are low-tech and some are incorporated into UDL strategies.  The Case Crusaders present short videos on strategies for working on positive social-emotional health.

The Case Crusaders Presents "M.A.R.K" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWk9rpFhZyY) is a short YouTube video about setting goals.  Learning how to set goals is a strategy that can help students in all areas of their life.

The link here (https://goo.gl/aJFKme) is a replica of the "M.A.R.K" format used in the video, that can be copied and used in your classroom.

Epidemic Sound

When creating presentations for class or work it is fun to add sound to enhance your presentation. 

In my Blog post from May 15, 2018 I shared a link to some Free Sound Effects (https://at-udl.blogspot.com/2018/05/free-sound-effects.html) provided by BBC (http://www.bbc.com/). 

Sound effects are great but sometimes we want a song or a portion of a song. Check out Free Copyrighted Songs at Epidemic Sound 
(https://www.epidemicsound.com/).  This site has tracks recorded by independent musicians and that are made available for the general public to use. Now you most likely will not find a song by your favorite artist or a group in main stream music right now but, you might be able to locate something in the same or similar style.

Check out Epidemic Sound 
(https://www.epidemicsound.com/) and see what you can find for yourself.

SchoolHabits.com

Most students (and some adults) need reminders on how to do different school tasks.  I was never taught how to annotate a text or how to properly study for an exam.  

SchoolHabits.com is a great website that has habits and hacks to help you get through school.  This site contains tons of video tutorials that can be found on the SchoolHabits channel.
(https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCif2xthZcmDp2NxvG56Gdlg).  Each video covers a different hack or habit and most mention ways to use them for a variety of learners.  

I like the "How to annotate while reading" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5Mz4nwciWc) video and "How to take notes in a lecture class" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yx_R2kh16c) video also.  Check out these and some of the others that might help you or your students!
