<div dir="ltr">One strategy to consider is breaking the activities of recall and spelling into discrete phases of the assessment process. For example, students could do the initial activity of moving from station to station without the use of voice recognition or spelling aids - just focusing on the recall, and writing down the names of the anatomical parts with an understanding that they won't be penalized for misspellings yet. Then, afterward - they get an additional window of time to use dictation or spelling aids to generate the correctly spelled version of the word they already recorded. This could help to ensure the correct answers aren't being generated via technology, just the spelling is being corrected via technology. <br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>--<br>Kaela Parks (she/her/hers)</div><div><i><a href="https://calendar.google.com/calendar/selfsched?sstoken=UUZad0loNjhESW1vfGRlZmF1bHR8MDc1YWE4MTM1MDE4NzA2Y2JkOTU5ZWQ3ZjE1M2E3ZGI" target="_blank">Book a meeting with me</a></i></div><div><br></div><div>SY CC 260, Ph. 971.722.4868</div><div>Portland Community College</div><div>Director, Disability Services</div><div><a href="http://www.pcc.edu/resources/disability" target="_blank">www.pcc.edu/resources/disability</a> </div><div><br></div><div>Visit our <a href="https://portlandcc.zoom.us/j/95105334035" target="_blank">Virtual Lobby</a><br>Monday - Thursday 10am to 2pm</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, May 13, 2021 at 11:36 AM Eckelberry, Robin <<a href="mailto:Robin.Eckelberry@ppcc.edu">Robin.Eckelberry@ppcc.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
