Welcome Diana Valle,
Technology Specialist

Help us celebrate our newest member of the Loan Library staff, Diana Valle.  
 She will be working in the Hollywood office location.The next time you call into the Hollywood Office be sure to welcome Diana! Diana shares a few words about herself.

Hello, My name is Diana Valle, and I was born and raised in Miami, Fl. I am bilingual; I speak Spanish and English fluently. I recently graduated from Miami-Dade College with a bachelor’s degree in Business Supervision and Management. I am enrolling in graduate school this upcoming Fall semester to obtain a Master of Arts in Library and Information Science.

Prior to working for the AT & UDL Loan Library, I was a supervisor for the Miami-Dade Public Library System (MDPLS). I regularly assisted with outreach and worked at the reference desk assisting library patrons with research. Working for the MDPLS ultimately helped me determine that I want to become a librarian with a youth services emphasis; hence why I was attracted to the AT & UDL Loan Library.

Before working for the MDPLS, I worked for Best Buy for almost three years. During my time at Best Buy, I gained experience actively using and learning about electronics.

Outside of work, I enjoy reading and running. I'm aiming to become a long-distance runner!

I am really excited to be a part of the team and I am looking forward to helping execute the Florida Problem Solving/Response to Intervention Project’s vision and mission.

Spring is in the Air
Spring is the time of year when teachers and students are preparing for and taking the Florida State Assessments (FSA) but not this year! We are immersed in a time that requires a growth mindset and problem-solving skills to embrace and act on the challenges of providing a continuity of learning. Continuity of learning is the continuation of education in the event of a prolonged school closure or student absence. In this case, the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic.

The Loan Library staff are working diligently in keeping your safety and the health of your students a top priority. When safe and possible, we are asking you to collect all Loan Library devices and return them so they can be thoroughly sanitized. Emails have been sent out indicating the devices that you have checked out and will need to be returned as soon as it is safe for you. Please be sure to follow the suggestions of your district in regards to going on campuses.

Effective immediately and until further notice, we will implement the following safeguards:

  • Once a device has been returned and received, it will go through a 72-hour quarantine period to be thoroughly sanitized.
  • All devices will also be sanitized prior to being shipped.

Loan Library Highlights
Clicker Docs iOSApp

The Clicker Docs iOS App provides middle and high school students with the support needed to become independent writers. These supports include an easy to use keyboard, and a simple word processor with word prediction and text to speech.

Customized word banks and learning grids allow students to weave content-specific vocabulary into their core sentences. The unique Super Keys feature groups the letters on the keyboard into clusters, creating just six large areas to target. Students with limited fine motor skills can tap a cluster containing the letter needed, and then tap the letter in the enlarged cluster.

The predictor/spell checker has four size options that make words easy to select for students with low-vision. 

Clicker Connect iOS App

When students use the Clicker Connect app on the iPad, they can engage in writing through word clusters, phrases, and pictures to produce sentences. As each sentence is completed, it is spoken aloud, helping learners to review and correct what they have written. Learners can listen to words and phrases in the grid before using them to help them decide how they want to convey their ideas. 

Clicker Connect provides an extensive range of supports to meet the needs of struggling writers. Features such as:
  • color-coding words or phrases to emphasize sentence structure;
  • built in guided order feature to ensure students work from left to right; 
  • identify words through the use of pictures;
  • student friendly online keyboard and grids enable students to extend their writing experience. 
Clicker Sentences iOS App
Clicker Sentences iOS App

With Clicker, every child can become an independent writer. Clicker Grids enable students to write with whole words and phrases. Emerging writers build sentences word-by-word, while Word Banks provide scaffolding to support developing writers.
