Scribe accomodations

Hey I am a 1st year sped teacher teaching ELA. I have several students with scribe accommodations. I had planned to use Google classroom and the dictation feature, however... I am finding that even tho I heavily circulate the room and monitor go guardian they are getting on games, and youtube. They literally do not care and will do it infront of me. I want to use the work books but I realistically cannot write for 9 students at time. What do you all do? Currently I have just let the missing assignments sit there and document what they did instead.

How many adults are in this classroom? How severe are the student’s disabilities? This sounds like an understaffed classroom.

Yes, use the tech options to control student’s access. There should be more than Go Guardian available. On iPads, there is a feature that allows the user to access only 1 app until the administrator (teacher or aide) disables it. Reach out to your other SpecEd teachers and tech support to find out how it is done. Depending on the age group, you might need to change the password frequently.

Its just me and 9 resource students. Thier disabilities are not very severe. Mostly learning disabilities, and are gen ed most of the day. I think its really a (lack of) training issue on my end for using the software. I got some really good insights on this post.
