Vocational Education Internet Activities

It is important for students to develop strong work and life skills, as these skills are essential for success in their personal and professional lives. By mastering these skills, students can become more self-sufficient and confident in their ability to manage their lives and achieve their goals. Providing a comprehensive set of resources can help students with different learning styles and abilities to engage with these concepts and develop a stronger foundation for their future success in working and living independently. The variety of products in this Life and Work Skills Bundle include Google Slides, Task Cards, Worksheets, and Boom Cards which can provide different ways for students to engage with and reinforce these skills.

In a pre-vocational or supported employment program, teaching work and life skills can provide students with hands-on experience and opportunities to practice these key skills. This type of practical training can help students gain confidence and build a strong foundation for future employment.

Incorporating work and life skills into an individualized education plan (IEP) can also help ensure that students receive the support they need to achieve their goals. This targeted instruction by incorporating work and life skills into pre-vocational/supported employment programs and IEPs is a valuable way to support student success and prepare them for the future.

This SUPER bundle centers around understanding On-The-Job/Home tools, Filling Orders, and Basic Work Skills.

NOTE:

✤The Google Slides activity is BEST assigned/presented in PRESENT mode, as this allows the students to self-check their answer and keep practicing until they get it correct!

You MUST be able to access/download/save to a Google Drive.**

✤ To Print Task Cards: The Task Cards, as downloaded, are 1/2 page which are great for students that need a larger size. To print 4x6 index card sized task cards, select "2 pages per sheet". To print 3x5 index card sized task cards, select "4 pages per sheet". These are not designed to print directly to index card template paper. What has worked best for my students was to print to on heavy duty card stock and laminate.

Boom Cards:

Included in this Bundle are access to Boom Cards that match the Google Slides Activity.

Note: To use Boom Cards, you must be connected to the Internet. Boom Cards play on modern browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge). Apps are available for modern Android, iPads, iPhones, and Kindle Fires. For security and privacy, adults must have a Boom Learning account to use and assign Boom Cards. You will be able to assign the Boom Cards you are buying with "Fast Pins," (a form of play that gives instant feedback to students for self-grading Boom Cards). For assignment options that report student progress back to you, you will need to purchase a premium account.
