Do you want to learn what the various pieces of equipment associated with Active Learning can be used for? Would you like to understand why certain pieces of equipment should be purchased from an authorized dealer rather than be made at home? Would you like ideas for equipment that can be made at home? In this course, all of this will be discussed, and you will have opportunities to view videos showing the use of many of these devices. When you have completed this course, you should be able to:
• Identify the major pieces of “perceptualizing aids” or equipment designed by Dr. Nielsen.
• Compile directions for making various types of equipment for use in Active Learning.
• Learn how to use various pieces of equipment (both things you buy and things you can make) with each student to meet their needs in developing motor, cognitive, social, emotional and perceptual skills.
