Make up for September 14th

Well, I spent part of my break catching up on the class I missed back in September. The beginning consisted of a pictionary game, which was quite fun to watch. Then, the class separated into groups to discuss how this class addresses diversity. It is unfortunate though, that spectators cannot listen to the group discussions, because it would definitely have been an interesting conversation. Luckily though, I was able to scroll through each group's whiteboard and from what I saw, there seemed to be an overall concensus that EDFN 302 caterers to the learning needs of all students, and does not discriminate against learning styles, experience, and so forth. For myself, I think that Lee has provided us with a variety of learning opportunities and has also made herself available to help those who may not have as much experience with technology. As a future teacher, I need to be aware of my own opinions and thoughts about disabilities and remember that inclusion is a practice that all schools have to participate in due to IDEA and I need to be prepared to teach to a diverse group of children. After this discussion, there was time spent talking about technology tools and how teachers could incorporate them into the classroom, a topic that has continued to be important throughout the semester.
