I have learned in another course about assistive technology. It is important that we, as educators, understand that we will more than likely be teaching in a classroom setting known as "inclusion". This is becoming the most likely and best route for students with disabilities in the classroom. With knowing this, we need to know what exactly assitive technology is and ways in which this may occurr. After all, assistive technology will be the tools used by certain students to help accomodate to the learning needs required.

This statement is just a further explanation of some examples of assistive technology!!

I, myself, was a bit unsure of the difference between social media and social networking and thought that maybe others in my group could benefit from this information. I know that we were allowed to also find articles relating to these two topics, and thought this may help us gain a more clear of an understanding.

We have all heard about, or maybe even are a member of facebook; this is known as social networking websites. In terms of social media; these are sites which share and discuss information.

This is a thought that I previously have not thought about. It is a good point; learning something when it is needed, increases the chances of the student remembering it.

Due to resources online, students are able to collectively organize and share with others the information that they have learned and knowledged gained in a technological manner such as power point, or typer on microsoft word.

I think that a requirement to having teachers check their e-mails daily should be mandated at all schools; a daily news letter is a magnificent idea, it helps keep teachers updated on all new information, even things such as what classrooms will be having a substitute and such.

This is great that this particular school is funded enough in a manner to have full-time instructional assistance available in the specific area of technology. Unfortunately, not all schools are able to do this. An idea would be to find a teacher who is "tech-savvy" and somehow fit this into their daily schedule; perhaps by providing them with an extra "planning period".

This is something important for all schools to follow, regardless of the grade/age level. It is also important to remember that computer labs are available and accessible amounts of computers are not needed in the actual clasroom itself. -class time can be spent in computer lab.
