Hi everyone,
Well, here we are last class of a really interesting journey. I now have 10 down and 2 to go! This class was one of the quickest. I think it was because we were constantly thinking and processing a large amount of information at once.
I enjoyed blogging and liked working together to make our group assignments. This is something that I think my students will enjoy. I know for certain that I will pass the blog information on to our grade 2 teachers who can use our "Tadpole Teachers".
I feel that I have gained a lot of knowledge when it comes to AT in the classroom. To me this course felt like an ongoing professional development course, something I was lacking. If anything I gained the knowledge on how to find the information and where to begin to search for help for my students. I know now that it can be overwhelming but there is help.
I am also looking forward to assisting my fellow teachers on how to incorporate AT into the classroom. I have already spoken at our June inservice on the UDLtoolbox and all of the fun things found inside it. I also tried to use it today in class with a writing assignment. It worked really well on the PC's but not on the IPADs, seems I have to download some sort of equiptment, lol. Will have to find out how to do that tomorrow :)
Thanks to all for helping out and giving me such wonderful ideas!
