Performance Task(s)
The participants have already received a workshop on the use of basic ActivInspire tools. I
want to incorporate Understanding by Design processes along with the use of smart
boards/ActivInspire. Many teachers of students with intellectual disabilities are receiving
smart boards/ActivInspire and using them as glorified projectors. If the smart boards are
used appropriately they can be a vital tool to facilitate and inspire student learning and
creativity, and to explore real-world issues and solve authentic problems using digital tools
and resources.
Henry County requires all Intellectual Disabled Programs to use the Unique Curriculum
with students in the program. The content provided in the Unique Curriculum gives
students in the Intellectual Disabled setting access to the Georgia Performance Standards.
Every month the Unique curriculum provides a topic, content, along with access to
standards that will be covered.
There will be three performance tasks. The goal is to Design and develop digital age
learning experiences and assessments. You will design, develop, and evaluate authentic
learning experiences and assessments incorporating contemporary tools and resources to
maximize content learning in context and to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes
identified in the Standards. Be sure that your activities bring the Big Ideas to students in
an interactive format to increase interest and curiosity.
