Today’s class we had a guest speaker call our professor over Skype. Our guest was Dr. Brown, she lives in Florida. My professor knows her from a conference. She had a power point that she shared with us and she shared the information with us over Skype. Some of the information I thought was most important was
All students will have technology so the LD students will not feel different.
When an adult follows a child around, they will not interact as well as a child who does not have an LD or does not need somebody with them
Special needs teachers benefit all the students.
It is beneficial for special needs students to be in the classroom.
Provide flexible models of skilled performance- for an iPod touch/iPad
each child will get an app that most benefits them
everyone will be working on something on their iPad/iPod so they won't feel embarrassed because they are at a lower level
Bringing connections in the classroom
Things that I found interesting in Dr. Brown's power point that I downloaded on my ipod touch that were free apps were:
chemical touch- which is an electronic periodical table, it is pretty cool.
US Constitution- which shows the different amendments and a little about each one
Worldwiki- which shows all the countries flags and then a little about each country on the planet Earth
USA Presidents- It shows all the presidents up to date and more information about the president themselves.
The other apps that cost money but I still thought were cool was:
Star Walk- which shows the stars and the Consolations
and where the stars are in relation to eachother.
Formulae- is an app that shows all the math formulas that you will ever need, the subjects include physics, calculus, Algebra Geometry and many more.
Recorder- This is an app where you can record your professors or anybodys voice and you can email what you have to another person.
