This blog has been created as an assignment for a class about Assistive Technology. Its purpose is to chronicle my journey as a learner. I am excited about this journey. Socrates said that the "unexamined life is not worth living".
Personally, I think that an unexamined world presents so many wasted opportunities.
The more I learn, the more I want to learn - the more I know, the more I
learn that I need to know. As a teacher, I try to instill curiosity and
inquiry in my students and own children.
Nine years ago, as a classroom teacher, I was assigned a fifth grade
student who was reading on a pre-primer level. Six of the thirty-two
students in my class had gifted IEPs and I was successfully providing
differentiated instruction that met the goals and learning needs of all
of these students. As a reflective practitioner, I knew that I had to
learn new techniques in order to reach this particular student and
others like her in the future. This experience helped me decide to earn a
Masters Degree in Reading. Now, I feel that a Certificate in Special
Education would be an asset, therefore, I am taking a class on Assistive
Technology as part of the requirements. This Blog has been created to
display my journey through the class.
