Hi there From my experience, there is a huge diversity among students with Aspergers and Autism, just as there is among any of our students. Individual students may find The Curious Incident .. useful or interesting but it may be more useful to your non-aspergers students.
I wonder about using some of the comic programmes around – such as Comic Life – to encourage appreciation of the perspectives of others? This adds the visual cues that many students with Aspergers have been taught to appreciate by Yr 10. If they can show the thoughts and feelings of a character in comic form, they may be able to move towards assessing it in characters in other formats.

Dear All
This is more an English post than an ICT post. I am teaching year 10 English and am struggling to accommodate students who have autism or aspergers when the assessment criteria for Assessment Tasks require students to identify values, social, moral point of view of narrator, author , characters etc. Students with Autism or asperges seem only to be aware or their own point of view - more or less. I think (?) I need to do some training in the area but wondered whether any of you had any advice re this, at this stage. Would studying a class novel such as "The curious incident of the dog in the night time" be helpful since the main character has aspergers? Or am I stereotyping these students? Is there so much diversity in the group that no one novel would align with the group's views and values? I suspect so. I think this novel is written pretty much without connectives and complex sentences from memory. This is away of avoiding connectives which show conditionality, concessionality etc which at least one of my students struggles to show or to even see.
Any thoughts?

got me thinking this week about how technology is reshaping our observation and collection of our students’ evidence of learning. Karen was particularly interested in how mobile technology is providing easier ways to capture thoughts and observations of the
things around us. She points out how technology can also be used just as easily for collecting data and observations during authentic learning moments in class.
