3.4- Special education specialists use instructional and assistive
technologies to improve programs, supports, and services for
individuals with exceptionalities.
3.5- Special education specialists evaluate progress toward achieving
the vision, mission, and goals of programs, services, and supports for
individuals with exceptionalities.
5.2 Special education specialists support and use linguistically and
culturally responsive practices.
6.7- Special education specialists actively promote the advancement
of the profession.
3.4- Ipads are used for communication. There are several non-verbal
students who rely on technology to help them get their needs across
to teachers. Two students use ipads that have buttons that they press
in order to help them communicate and express their needs.
3.5- Tests are often given to students to access their knowledge.
After reading a book the students are tested on vocabulary words
and knowing what the book was about.
5.2- The use of some Spanish words for bilingual students help them
understand some concepts they are having trouble grasping.
6.7- Mrs. Barrett, the teacher I have been working under, has talked
to me about her journey in achieving her Masters degree and how
she has learned so much more in her schooling.
The usage of Ipads is a great idea because the advancement in
technology allows us to be able to communicate effectively with
non-verbal students. It also promotes a fun and easier way of
learning for these students.
Tests keep the students in check when accessing their knowledge.
Every student wants to do well on their tests, so they tend to pay
more attention to their studies so that they do well.
Supporting the language of other cultures creates a wider platform of
learning.
Other activities today included learning more about the town of
Addison and its history. They have planned a field trip as part of
their social studies chapter to learn about the advancement in
technology and how we came to be the town that stands today.
I think is important to acknowledge.
observations including at
least one emerging question.
A question I have is if we should allow student to have access to
technology from school to take home or will we have too much of a
problem with students taking advantage of the internet and not focus
on using it for educational purposes? Will this inhibit students from
being able to learn without technology?
