assess the student's current cane skills (O&M CCR Standard 4 - Travel
Techniques), but an experience book can be tailored to different standards and
activities. Collecting items for the O&M experience book provided a hands-on
experience for the student. The student sought out things he could find with his
cane, placing each item in a basket his mother carried. After the walk, he created
an experience book and shared it with the instructor during the next lesson. He
filled the book with all the objects he found along with pictures he drew, which
made the experience more meaningful to him.
Kahoot!
Using Kahoot!, an instructor can create lessons and quizzes that cover a
variety of O&M topics. Quizzes can be taken by one student or a group of students
working together. Kahoot! also tracks student progress and generates reports based
on assignments given to the student(s). Kyrsten and Angel used Kahoot! to review
key O&M concepts and mapping skills (O&M-S3-7A & 7B). For example,
students identified the quadrants of Portland and familiar locations within each
quadrant. For confidentiality purposes, students should create a nickname or use
initials when taking quizzes. Kahoot! is not screen reader accessible, which limits
its usefulness.
