BLOG POST 3

PEER EDITING
Peer editing can be fun as well as alot of hard work.The fun part is being able to interact with the peers in your class in a positive way.The hard part is correcting your peers. Some people may be afraid of offending others by correct their work.The key to solving this problem is to correct the paper using positive feed back. No one likes to get negative feedback.
I learn to give good positive feedback from the video that we were assigned to watch.When giving feedback to other peers it is very important to follow these three steps. 1. Compliment your peer on what they have written before you tear them apart.Another helpful step to peer editing is to suggest way that the person can fix the problem. Telling someone that what they have written is wrong will not help the person fix the problem.The best thing to do is offer them ways to fix the problem.
TECHNOLOGY IN SPECIAL EDUCATIONTechnology can help struggling students interact and communicate better in the classroom.Computers are good form of technology that can be uses in the classroom. Computers can help students with disadvantage such as not talking are being able to write.computers can help them write and get lesson done a lot faster
.
Many kids are more willing to learn if they have help from a computer.Computers can cause special students to interact with the teachers and class better than writing responds can. Students can use technology to learn better and also earn better grades in school.Learning can be fun and easy to use with most types of technology.
How the iPad Works with Academics for Autism
How the ipad works with kids with autism; Ipads are wonderful devices that can be uses to help children with autism.Children can learn and have fun at the same time.A great way for a child to learn is to be able to see and hear something at the same time. I learn better when I see something being done rather than being told how to do something.All kids are capable of learning they just need someone to help find the learning style that is best for them.
apps can be helpful tools for instance, the myHomework app. This app in particular would help accommodate a child with a speech difficulty. Like the video, it would allow the child to express himself better and captivate there attention at the same time. Some apps even enlarge pictures/letters and make lots of noises. They also help students write better. There are numerous dynamic apps today. In general technology helps all students learn regardless of there conditions. When I become a teacher I will most definitely utilize the various sorts of apps, to increase learning, to better communication, and exceed student's overall learning capabilities.
Vicki Davis: Harness Your Students' Digital Smarts
I strongly agree with this video. I believe I would not be as lost as I am now with this class if I would have had taken a class like the one on this video when I was younger. I believe technology plays an important role in education. Not only is Vicki Davis letting her students use the latest technology and software, but she is letting them communicate with different students all over the world.
I Think that Ms.Davis is doing an excellent job allow her student to learn and think using technology.People such as my self have more fun learn when they are doing something that they enjoy doing.I much rather learn with a fun computer program then to look at textbooks.
