Classroom Applications
K-8 teachers can now give students cross-curricular classroom
activities to practice and track student responses
using either the provided sample activities or creating their
own specific standards-aligned activities with the Tools' handy
templates. IntelliTools Classroom provides the tools to
help you achieve your classroom goals, with:
-
Curriculum-Based Activities
- Answer
Tracking and Assessment
- Creativity and
Self-Expression
|
Curriculum-Based
Activities
Teachers can assign a series of activities for students. A sampling of
30 activities in four grade ranges in reading, writing, math, social
studies, and science come with IntelliTools Classroom.
- For example, a first-grade teacher can assign a phonics
activity for students to practice, and then assign a related writing
activity aligned to the decoding skills the students have just
explored.
Answer Tracking and Assessment
Teachers can track students' activity responses and quiz answers, and
then record, report, and print student records for student assessment.
Program files as well as student records and preferences can be stored
on a network server.
- A science teacher can have students label parts of a cell
using IntelliPics Studio 3, then print their diagrams, and/or have
their scores available for a parent-teacher conference.
Network versions allow you and your administrators easy access
to student assessment details over the network. You'll no longer
have to collect data from individual computers. Now it's
centralized!
IntelliTools Classroom tracks each student's
performance in his or her own private portfolio, records student
responses, compares them to expected answers, and makes their
scoring results available in both detailed and summary reports. |
|
Both students and teachers
benefit from this powerful capability. Students can check answers as
they work, getting immediate feedback on their written work, math
problem, or multimedia activity. Teachers can make this answer-checking
option available for practice and later remove it for testing. Teachers
can quickly access student work and view records of their progress. They
can also view and print reports of student work without having to open
individual documents.
Creativity and Self-Expression
IntelliTools Classroom's three authoring tools are engaging
programs students will love—whether creating exciting multimedia
presentations using drawing, animations, video, and sound in
IntelliPics Studio 3; exploring the magic of math with virtual
manipulatives in IntelliMathics 3; or composing with a word
processor that combines graphics, text, and speech in IntelliTalk 3.
 |
- For
example, sixth grade students who have developed a classroom
survey about parent carpooling can visualize the results as
fractions or percent in IntelliMathics 3, describe the
methodology of the survey in IntelliTalk 3, and create a
multimedia presentation for the school board in IntelliPics
Studio 3.

IntelliTools Classroom

or small, simple or complex. Teachers can use any of the three tools to
easily modify the existing activities or create their own interactive
activities, quizzes, presentations, and games for their classroom.

Universal Access
The concept of Universal Design - that all students, regardless of
physical and learning differences, have access to our products - has
been a long-standing philosophy that guides IntelliTools' software and
hardware innovations. Our programming environments enable our software
to feature speech output, single-switch scanning, and automatic sending
of IntelliKeys overlays, in addition to access by a standard keyboard,
mouse or touch-screen. Our products also meet the accessibility
requirements of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act.
Testimonials
"Since it was first published, IntelliPics has been a very
effective multimedia program in the classroom. IntelliPics Studio
refines many of the wonderful features of IntelliPics and adds
many new dimensions. I'm looking forward to all the new ways to
incorporate this program for the classrooms and children I help support.
Its seamless transition between Macintosh and Windows platforms makes it
much easier to support the different platforms." Mariangeles C.
Murphy-Herd, The Capper Foundation, Topeka, KS
"IntelliMathics - WOW! It makes math visible! So many children
continue to need visual support to understand math concepts. Too often,
manipulatives are taken away after the early primary grades, while for
others, they do not have the physical abilities to manipulate these
objects. This tool allows them to manipulate objects they cannot hold.
Don't think that IntelliMathics is just a tool for teaching
math. I use it for sequencing activities, community-based instruction
and much more. This math-phobic teacher is a math lover now." Kathie
Maltby, Irvine, CA
"IntelliTalk II is a lead program for curriculum access. I use
it create activities in all content areas that keep students with
disabilities up to speed with their nondisabled peers. The amazing thing
is that activities created with IntelliTalk II end up working
for all the students in the class! IntelliTalk II is the one
program in my technology toolbox that I could not be without!" Cathy
Tamburello, Verona, NJ
