I will definitely be using immersive readers in my lessons as this will assist a variety of students with SpLDs. Perhaps even more important than this is Microsoft has a great function that transposes everything you say whilst you use PowerPoint. I will be using this soon but it does require the online version of PowerPoint and a microphone. I will have to purchase the microphone/headset myself as there are no funds in our college for this sort of thing.
I Already offer a wide variety of different digital formats in my lessons including video (must have subtitles for Deaf students) sometimes audio (print out for Deaf students or on screen). All my presentations are designed from the ground up with dyslexic students in mind. Text is simply formatted using a sans serif font such as Ariel. All text has yellow or lavender backgrounds.
I know this is a digital course but if I'm honest I try to get students to think, feel, emote, and be and I choose the right tools to achieve this and only very occasionally will these tools be digital. Having said that due to the current global pandemic crisis 50% of our English lessons will be delivered remotely in September. So, for this academic year I will be using digital tool extensively. I will be using a selection of tools including Prezi video, which has a variety of ways to include presentations within a video. I am going to use video editing software to include mini spelling tests with big, bold subtitles and mini three-minute masterclasses on aspects I've identified students struggled with this last year. All with carefully formatted text for SpLD students.  less
