  fill it out.
• At the I.E.P fill out things that should be done
  before because the parents student will not get
  together to do.

Ink Tablet

• The Students will be shown how to write on the
  checklist or papers.
• They will then go home show their parents how
  to use it.
• Hoping that a connection will form to bring the
  tablets as a positive impact in the parents eyes.

Assignments

• WebCT will work for a lot of my students.
• Other students will have to be downloaded or
  walked through it each time.
• I will have a sheet that will show what to tap
  how many times for some.

10
Student Engagement

• Students will be walked through things their
  first few times.
• My students must do things hands on to learn. I
  will have them do things many times on the smart
  board to remember.

11
Evaluating

• Parents I will be able to talk back forth.
• Im hoping to write in comments and let the
  students see things that may help or can not be
  done.
• I will then be able to print off their version
  for their final folders.

12
Challenges

• Some of my students have very short attention
  span, others have a lower mental capabilities,
  then I will have some that are just behavioral
  students. Each case will have their unique
  limitations. Some will be able to write on the
  tablet while others will only be able to type.
  Most will have to be taught how to use the tablet
  several times however my students amaze me on a
  daily bases of what they are capable of. It will
  be a trial and error for us all. I will have to
  put my foot down on making sure it comes back
  each day. The extra credit may help in their
  choice of class. I also hope to see if I can get
  their text books on an e-book format so we can
  highlight have it read to them using the
  tablet.

  mailing.
