Interactive Behavior Tools for Distance Learning
COVID-19 has changed things drastically in the world of education. Many schools, therapies and service providers are now offering services/teaching through eLearning or distance learning because of the virus. This is a whole new world for all educators and families and educators are all learning as they go. Today I am sharing some interactive behavior tools that can be used at home on any device!
I wanted to share some digital interactive resources that have been in my TpT store for a few years. They may have not been applicable to your students back then, but you might find them useful now.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Because of the virus, I have revised my terms of use for all projects (interactive and printable PDF’s) to be allowed to be distributed to families of students on YOUR caseload as if you were using the resource in your own classroom for their child. Please feel free to distribute these resources to your students families.
How to Use Interactive Behavior Tools:
When you purchase any interactive behavior tool, you will get a PDF file with clickable links. This is compatible with ANY PDF viewer. No printing is necessary. Simply open the PDF on any PDF reader on a phone, tablet or computer. Display on a smart board or projector. Follow the visual to click through your student’s behavioral needs.
