Final Post

I learned about technology in the general education classroom. As a special education teacher I didn't learn much about the advances and practices of special education technology, and this was a little disappointing. I had to really dig to find the value of some of the exercises from a special educator standpoint, but some things we learned were definitely beneficial upon closer inspection. I understood the thought process behind letting us figure things out on our own, and not entirely looking to the educator for a list of things to do and what not to do, but definitely feel that a little more direct instruction was necessary in order for me to feel as if I had really learned some valuable things. Thanks for working with us and being patient..!

ScreenCast

After reviewing everyone else's screen cast assignments, I think I better understand the point of the assignment. It was definitely interesting to see what everyone focused on, and it will be a good resource for the future. Its nice not to have to learn everything about every application, but instead to split the load up so that we can each really focus on our own individual parts and then teach it to our classmates and colleagues. It really was a good example of real life team work because in the work place, not all teamwork is about working together in the same time and space, but collaborating and sharing the work load.
