Intellectual Disabilities: Check out these resources!

Great sites to get your students learning right!


This website provides ways for students to create stories on the computer, including
novel ways to work on brainstorming and sequencing.
‘Glog’ is an interactive visual platform in which users create a ‘poster’ or ‘web page’ containing multimedia elements including text, audio, video, images, graphics, drawings and data. It fulfils UDL principles by providing multiple means of representation, action, expression and engagement.

For example: ‘Space Decoder’ game 
A simple space based drill and practice game. Put in your questions, and then blast  off. Contains five mini games that students progress through. Each game gets progressively harder as the student successfully completes each level (Single Student Game).

  1. All of these sites/resources are great fun for kids...learning without knowing it! I especially like Glogster. Many times I have been asked by my own kids and students how to make a webpage (to which I have no idea). This is a perfect creative outlet and medium for kids today.
