Reflection for 3/13/07 class: The five most important things your learned and why.

(1)AT – I learned just how important and life changing AT is for all students with disabilities. Listening to reading and following along is helpful to the student with moderate disabilities yet, for the child with severe disabilities, AT can make a life come alive with renewed purpose and energy.

(2)The film "Freedom Machines" very informative. The most interesting information came in the may of actual statistics. For example, 7 million school age children with disabilities 54 mil in country 70 percent of working age disabilities are unemployed. those with disabilities live at or below the level of poverty so they cannot afford AT (3) Cooperative Learning – I found the assignment creative and the learning concepts value. Interindependence is the most valuable concept.

(4) Training on Microsoft PowerPoint was valuable. I learned enough to have my class do a project the very next day and they were thrilled doing it.

(5) Website information is very valuable. From Google Earth to assistive Technology website for students with speech and language impairments.
I had a conversation with a mother who was having trouble hearing and I told her about different websites you had mentioned. She was going to look into this.

(6) Computer training at Foothill College –
