Meet Danny

Case Study - Motor

Danny is a 14 year old ninth grader in High School.  He is a bright student that is working toward the Common Core State Standards.  He often engages verbally in his classes, and his teachers report that he often excels in class debates and discussions, but his writing is disorganized.  His teachers are also concerned that his handwriting is barely legible and that he rarely writes the required amount for a class.  Many times when given a constructed response Danny will write a few sentences to a paragraph and then stop when the requirement for the lesson was to write an essay.

What They Decided

Danny’s teachers explored the many options that were available on the internet including apps, extensions, and teacher made items.  As a team it was decided that utilizing a chromebook, a ThinkWrite headset, and google apps would be the best solution as Google Apps for Education could be applicable in all classes and provide a more streamlined approach.  This decision also proved the most economical as  Google Apps for Education are free and the cost of the headset and chrome book were significantly less than an ipad or laptop.  Danny would also increase his typing speed by utilizing the free typing lessons on typing.com.
