E-work sheet and students with special needs

Boštjan Papež, Osnovna šola Bršljin

Children with learning disabilities require a lot of consolidation and repetition to master the material, and they also need the subject is explained several times. To this end, I have prepared a lot of paper worksheets and handouts.

When the worksheet is completed, it can not be reset and used again. You can only ad pictures to it. To view a video or listening it is necessary to use another device. Time and number of viewings is limited. Working with worksheets is monotonous so students are less motivated to work and have a shorter concentration span.

Listed problems are to a large extent solved in favor of the student using a tablet computer in which the students solved the e-learning sheet, created in an application Note Anytime Lite. So prepared worksheet exceeds the usefulness of the classic work sheet. It’s possible to make connections to previously prepared explanation, which the student can view according to their needs. Via the e-work sheet learners can access online educational games, audio and video material. Tasks can be made interactive because the student is able to manipulate elements on the screen. In this way, we gamified the process of repetition and prolonged child’s attention and motivation to work.
