One type of material generator that I often used was
whiteboard activity software, at least until our school became a one-to-one
digital school and I became blocked from the site - ironic, huh? I downloaded flipcharts on a weekly basis on a
variety of subjects from www.prometheanworld.com. (I’m sure that I could get
this site unblocked, but since I’ve become a collaborative special ed. teacher,
there hasn’t really been a need, or time.
Did I mention time?) I wish I
could be more specific as to what flipcharts I downloaded, but I am unable to
access these files too. I should have
backed them up! If you’re a core teacher
with a Prometheus Board, I’d strongly suggest that you check out the
prometheanworld site.
Another materials generator that I’ve used in the past
is Print Shop Deluxe. I used this to create
awards and invitations to my end of the year party for students who achieved their
reading goal. I also used Print Shop
Deluxe to create birthday cards and bookmarks.
I was surprised to learn about the IEP generator as I’ve
never even heard of such a thing and I’ve been a special education teacher for
thirteen years. I doubt that I will be
able to use it as the guidelines are so stringent about what we are allowed to
write on the individualized
educational plan. However, I do plan on
checking out the three sites listed on page 145 before I write my next IEP.
