Let's Talk Tech

I love my computer and I do not take the time to think about the different ways that it can be more than just a computer. For someone who cannot see or is unable to type a paper on their own, a computer is so much more than a tool to browse the Internet but a means to reach the world. The software available is amazing, that fact that no one has to be left out of the world of advancing technology is wonderful.

My major is Special Education the Window Eyes would be the idea teaching tool for my blind students and Magic for my students who have partial site. Via voice also allows hand free typing ofr students not able to use standard typing method. Most lesson, games and tutoring material can be uploaded on these programs and make learning fun. No person with a disability wants to be treated like an outcast and this software not only includes them but also gives freedom to not be afraid of working on the computer. I am so glad that I have help to make my classroom a learning paradise for all students.

I do like to think that somewhere down the road of life our paths will meet again and we will remember the time we had on Thursdays in EDM310. I wish you all happy futures and prosperous lives.

Teachers teaching Teachers

I really enjoyed this podcast. The dialect between the the speakers flowed, the information was clear and useful. What better way for a teacher to enhance their learning skills than from learning from each other and receiving feedback in the classroom. It is easier to relate to someone who knows what you are going through on a daily basis and can encourage you and guide you to being a better teacher. We are all different and have vital information to share to help one another. Teachers give to their students everyday and sometimes it is feels good to get back what you put in. Quality of voice sound could have been better
