Reflection #4

Wow, it's hard to believe that we are down to our final class! This certainly has been a great learning experience for me. Having been a Learning Center teacher, I know how important it is to effectively and efficiently integrate Assistive Technology into our classrooms, and into our students daily programming. In our class we had the opportunity to practice our skills with a few programs, specifically ClozePro, Clicker 5 and Inspiration. The diversity of these programs is great, they have a lot of potential to be used in a variety of settings, with a variety of learning needs.
We had the opportunity to create lessons, using these programs, for a student described to us in a case study. It was a great opportunity to practice our skills, make mistakes and correct them, and come up with a final product that we all felt was an effective and useful lesson, one that would achieve the outcomes intended for the student.
One handy tool is http://www.learninggrids.com/ . There are various lessons created, that can be used as is, or can be adapted to fit the needs of indivdual students.

I have visited learning grids as well. It is a great way of getting good ideas! I have not perfected downloading them however- so much to learn!
