On your mark get set, wait! Is about how students with disabilites are now taught in regular classrooms. Some students use assitive technology to stay in regular classrooms. Teachers or students studying to become teachers, need to be ready to deal with students with disablities, including, with speech and language impairments, students with specific learnign disablities, students with emotional disturbance, mentally handicap, and students with multiple disabilities. Teachers are now teaching handicapped or learning disabled students in the regular class room.
Chapter 10 was titled.... Distance Education: Using Technology to Redefine the Classroom.
This chapter is about using distance education in a classroom. Teachers should plan extra time in case technologies fail. In a regular classroom teachers would:
Ask a question to determine what content needs to be reviewed, Review content as needed, select a target objective for the lesson, prepare students by explaining what they will be able to do after the lesson, respond to students questions about the lesson, decide how to arrange the classroom for this specific lesson, write notes for themselves, select and set up materials media and technology needed and decide how they will be used.
In a Distance education classroom Teachers would/ should : Prepare a pretest so students can self assess, make review materials available, post the target objective in a place students will notice, explain the objective in detail since there may be a delay, create a content module so that students will have manageable materials to work with, and arrange for technologies to be available to students who may not have access.

Very good point about how technology can fail! I deal with that every day!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with how teachers need to be prepared to teach children with a variety of disabilities. It's important as a teacher to make each of your students feel good about who they are.
