Blog post #7

    ADA makes it illegal to discriminate on basis of disabilities, teachers are required to accommodate for students with disabilities. Teachers use assistive technology, which is technology used to increase or help improve learning for students with disabilities. Examples of adaptive technology are recorded books,electronic texts, and read systems. These are adaptive technology for reading.  I dont remember anyone in my high school using these kinds technology. The challenges you can have using adaptive technology is that each student will have a different disability, so just because one tool works with one student, it may not work for the other students.


........PEOPLE WHO MAKE WEBSITES MUST HAVE A LOT OF PATIENCE, OR I'M JUST IMPATIENT AND CRAZY!
            I don't know how people do it. I got so stressed out over making this website. It took me forever. Im not the most etch savvy person so it took me a couple of hours to figure out how to navigate around weebly design my website. So website making isn't my favorite thing, but this did help me a lot. I know have an idea of how to create a website if I decide to ever make another one. My main problem was that I'm so used to using other technology that I have a hard time figuring out how to use new thing that I don't have experience with. This was the same thing that happened with my prezi. I had no clue what to do so I didn't like doing it. but after seeing my finished website I did feel like for someone who sucks with technology I did pretty decent. This can be used in my future career because I can make a class website and I am undecided on whether I want to teach art or kindergarten, so if i choose art this could be a start.

  1. From playing around with Weebly, I can definitely agree that there should be some streamlining to their sites -- it's rather complicated! Again, like prezi, the more you use it, the easier it gets! Great site, though!

  2. I agree, I think that trying to find the type of adaptive technology that would work best for each student would be something difficult, and if you have multiple students with exceptionalities it could be costly as well.
