Dahmen Higgs’ Post

A fantastic contribution from our very own Dahmen Higgs in the Learning Difficulties Australia (LDA) We all know by now that #edtech product functionality should be developed using evidence-based practices. They should be non-negotiables for all users. There is always new research, new evidence and new information emerging that can influence the way we teach, the way our students learn and the we (EdTech providers) adapt our solutions. In working with the LDA, we should all be reminded to hold #edtech accountable for optimising solutions to suit the needs of individual students, teachers and educators. The topics covered in this LDA article are insightful and worth a read from a variety of fantastic reputable authors. #learningforall #education #technology #datainformed

#RLMClient Coral PS Hoh was featured in The AI Journal discussing the Dysolve Software and how it has a higher efficacy than traditional methods to treat Dyslexia as well as how the software works, its origins, and the ways it helps individuals with Dyslexia more effectively than traditional methods.

AI is not scary. But it can help educators better explain jargon, especially IEP jargon. If you’re a school psychologist, special education teacher, or educator, give it a try and lets chill with the jargon 😂😩 #schoolpsychfam #schoolpsychai #schoolpsychology #schoolpsychologist #specialeducation #edtech #gpt #chatgpt #ai #openAI #IEP

Dysgraphia is a neurological condition characterized by difficulties in translating thoughts into written language, regardless of exposure to proper instruction and education. It can manifest with various symptoms at different stages of life, making it a recognized learning difference. The act of writing involves a combination of skills and brain functions, such as fine motor skills, spatial perception, working memory, orthographic coding, language processing, conceptualization, and organization. Due to this complexity, dysgraphia serves as a broad term to identify writing-related issues, posing challenges in diagnosis. Developmental dysgraphia typically emerges during the initial stages of writing acquisition in children, while acquired dysgraphia can occur suddenly following head or brain injuries. Dysgraphia falls under the category of a "specific learning disorder," specifically in the realm of written expression. #RaiseAgainstAutism #PinnacleSaysItAll #PinnacleBloomsNetwork #1AutismTherapyCentresNetwork

How to teach #AILiteracy in #AdultEducation? How to ensure learners critically assess and responsibly utilize generative #AITools? 🔍 Joshua Wilhelm from the University of Münster provides an answer, drawing from his own experience: ▶ Empowering individuals with both understanding and hands-on experience is key. ❗ Moreover: “Not much time is needed to change students’ attitudes from uncritical use of GenAI to critical,” he argues.

If you're using AI to alleviate burnout, you are tending to relationships. I just walked a colleague through Anthropic's Claude 3.5 Sonnet and how it can interpret teacher schedules, sync to supervision schedules, create different versions of each, and calculate total supervision minutes. We learned together. We want to make supervision more equitable and better aligned with when teachers do and do not teach. On the call, we talked about how this alleviates so much of the heavy lifting, especially setting up all of the tables and spreadsheets and the double-checking. Of course, that allows more room to breathe and to do the interpersonal work of schools. More importantly, we shared some insight. We built together. I taught her something new and she ran with it in a way I could not. Connecting over the value of AI tools is still connecting. That is always worth celebrating.
