This guide is based on the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) Standards to which the Michigan Integrated Technology Competencies for Students (MITECS) connects. These guidelines follow six key concepts: • Technology Operations and Concepts • Creativity and Innovation • Communication and Collaboration • Critical Thinking and Problem Solving • Research and Information Technology • Digital Citizenship Appendix: • Assistive Technology Glossary • Assistive Technology Resources • Assistive Technology Tools and Applications Sample Listing • Assistive Technology Tools Record Keeping Chart Assistive Technology Guidelines: Grades 3-5 Updated 04.20.2020 01 Assistive Technology Guidelines Protocol • Use the guidelines to help develop specific Individualized Education Program (IEP) goals. • An AT Glossary, AT Resources, AT Tools, and AT Tools Table can be found after each grade-level guideline. • Use the key below to track student progress.

  • A Second Look at What High School Students Who Are Blind Should Know About Technology
    A Second Look at What High School Students Who are Blind Should Know About Technology Stacy M. Kelly, Gaylen Kapperman Visual Disabilities Program, Northern Illinois University [email protected], [email protected] Abstract This article presents an overview of mainstream and assistive technology skills and tools to be mastered by high school students who are blind in preparation for postsecondary education. It is an update to an article written on this exact topic fifteen years ago. The recommendations focus entirely on what is necessary in today’s high-tech society for high school learners who read and write braille competently (e.g., read braille tactually at a minimum rate of 30 words per minute). The number of recommendations from the original article in 2004 has more than doubled. There were only 14 recommendations in 2004. In 2018 there are more than 30 recommendations for students who are blind to relate to their use of assistive technology. The Certified Assistive Technology Instructional Specialist for People with Visual Impairments (CATIS) provides a Scope of Practice and Body of Knowledge that is sufficient for supporting the substantial growth in the assistive technology-related knowledge, skills, and tools recommended in this article. Keywords Assistive technology, blind, certification, education, visually impaired Journal on Technology and Persons with Disabilities Santiago, J. (Eds): CSUN Assistive Technology Conference © 2018 California State University, Northridge A Second Look at What High School Students Who are Blind Should Know About Technology 386 Introduction This article represents a “second look” at the issue of competence in the use of appropriate technology to be mastered by students who are blind and who may be enrolling in some type of postsecondary educational program.

  • Executive Summary
    1 Executive summary Welcome to the third edition of the Mobile Security and Risk Review. This bi-annual review provides IT security leaders with timely information about the mobile threat landscape and the emerging risks facing their organizations. This edition includes: Regional data Industry-specific Statistics from Australia, Belgium, France, data for financial services, on the adoption of Apple’s Device Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, government, and healthcare Enrollment Program (DEP) and Spain, the United Kingdom, and the Volume Purchase Program (VPP) United States The most popular The top blacklisted enterprise apps mobile apps Several areas saw little change or improvement over the last six months: only Less than 29% 55% 5% of companies had outdated consistently enforced deployed mobile anti-malware policies security policies To help IT organizations make risk mitigation part of their mobile security routine, we developed the Security Hygiene Priority Checklist. 2 The mobile threat landscape New Threats and Trends Almost immediately after we published the second edition of this report, high profile vulnerabilities and new malware families began appearing. The Godless malware, identified in late June 2016, managed to infect an estimated 850,000 devices.1 Initially discovered in February 2016, Hummingbad was more widely analyzed in July, and it appears it was created by Yingmob, the group behind the YiSpectre iOS malware that made headlines last year. Hummingbad succeeded in infecting nearly 85,000,000 devices.2 The apparent goal of both malware families was to drive fraudulent ad revenue. However, what is more more notable — and sinister — is that they contained exploits that attempt to “root” devices over the air without the user’s knowledge, thus giving attackers full control of an infected device.

  • Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity for Mobility
    MOBILE CYBERSECURITY IN THE DIGITAL ECONOMY Modern organizations have recognized the need to embrace mobile devices and the benefits they can provide in the workplace. However, when it comes to Cybersecurity for mobile devices, most IT and security professionals have overlooked this important aspect of their environment. The thinking is that the biggest security challenges were on PCs, where employees did the majority of their work. As cloud-based services proliferate and more mobile applications are increasingly available for businesses, the vast majority of employees now rely on mobile devices for productivity, forcing IT departments to rethink device security priorities to include mobile. Mobile devices are increasingly becoming the primary method to access corporate data and resources so security professionals need to develop strategies for securing their mobile environment The mobile, demanding, and productive workforce is literally dragging companies into this new world. The way we work, live and connect is different, and over the next few years we will see a complete transformation in the way security is used to protect people and businesses where mobility and cloud access to data are requirements. We think the world is mobile today, but in fact, we’re just scratching the surface. Gartner estimates that there will be 5.3B smartphones and tablets in 2019. To give that number context: the world population to be 7.5B people by that time. Nearly every person on earth will have a smartphone or tablet by then. In Mary Meeker’s latest “State of the Internet” report, it found that time spent on mobile surpassed desktops in 2014.
