Hey everyone! So definitely all of the technologies we saw in the lab would be really useful for a lot of people. There are so many resources for blind students, and I found that awesome. I didn't know we had a lot of the accommodations that we have, actually. There are actually quite a few more colorblind folk than you would really think, so I really hope that the lab gets utilized often. The most useful resource, though, is definitely the computer program where it highlights words and will adapt aural reading speeds with it as well. Honestly I can see that being useful for myself too just because sometimes reading comprehension is hard with complicated topics. And it's amazing that such a helpful app is also easily accessible!

So creating a powerpoint using Bloom's taxonomy is pretty straightforward. So for me, I always divert to history (always a given, the obsession never abates). So obviously step (1) would consist of you creating the powerpoint for the class. Then (2) evaluating sources and their arguments and (3) analyzing where they intersect to (4) form a cohesive argument. The last two steps would be teaching students to help them (5) understand the concepts you're trying to teach them and use various media supports to help them (6) remember what they've learned. I used the numbers to go from top to bottom in the period if that makes sense.

So I found a really good website that's by a company that specializes in informing teachers of new innovations of technology in education. Basically, it's the ultimate resource for teachers. You can read more here and here's a screenshot!

Until next week!
