Using Captioning Assistive Technology
Welcome to RMTC-D/HH's December 2019 Teacher Spotlight. We are proud to introduce Cheryl Crumpler from FSDB and Shannon Fowler from the School District at Palm Beach County. The spotlight video theme for December 2019 is captioning! Learn more about how Cheryl and Shannon use technology to make their lessons more accessible through captioned media.
Cheryl Crumpler, M. Ed., has been committed to educating students for over 30 years and has taught most recently Career Education and Career Experience courses at the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind and in the St. Augustine community. Cheryl enjoys teaching students about the soft skills needed for employment. One of the ways she does this is through having her students watch vignettes with role models who are DHH, as well as other media sources that use closed-captioning and then follow this up by engaging students in their own role plays, activities, and discussions related to the video content.
Shannon Fowler is a teacher of students who are deaf/hard of hearing (TODHH) in Palm Beach county. She previously taught in an itinerant setting for 4 years and now teaches in a K-2 bilingual-bimodal program for students who are deaf/hard of hearing.
