This unit on Assistive Technology has given me a new perspective on all the different programs there are available to our students.  As the article by Greer referred to online learning, as learning from your home and not in a regular classroom.  However, the student needs to be motivated to do the work.  The student can do the work at their own speed, but they need to reach deadlines.  This unit referred to students with disabilities and how virtual classrooms may be beneficial to their learning.  I felt like I had a disability when I first started this class.  I had never taken an online class before.  I wasn't sure if I could get motivated to complete the material on time.  I have found out this is not the case because I can get motivation from what my fellow peers have to say.  This was probably one of the best units, so far.  I have come away with so much information on how to help students, not only students with disabilit...

Unit 4 has been filled with a lot of different types of assessment to implement in a classroom.  The knowledge-based activity in Activity 1 for this unit was so helpful.  I came away with so many different types of technology assessments from my peers. And I thank all of you .  I can hardly wait to develop some of them over the summer.  It would be great to implement them into my classes, especially my trig class, that is so stagnate.  The playful simulations in Activity 2 were really informative. After reading the articles I wondered how I could use video simulation in my classes.  Then when I watched SimSchool and ClassCraft I got some ideas for my classes.                                       Seeing is believing or is believing seeing? I thought the article "Elaborated Feedback" wasn't as useful as seeing how to implement simulations.  I liked th...
