week 15 assistive tech

This time we went over assistive technology, technology meant to assist students with exceptionalities. We were responsible for finding technology for three students, one only had one arm, one couldn't speak, and the third was blind. There were a great number of technologies which could be used for assisting these students, and each was a fairly interesting insight into what a school administrator has to do, between balancing a budget, and ensuring that students are able to get their comprehensive education.

weeks 13 and 14 double the fun

This was a roller coaster pair of weeks, the first week I had found out a major assignment from a different class wasn't going to work, so i was majorly displeases, to say the least. the next week, I found out that it would work on a different computer, so I was joyous, and able to help a classmate. the assignment, or at least the major assignment, was to make a video using some not so complex editing tools, and it was fun.

week 12, free stuff

This week, we went over copyright and fair use guidelines. class was canceled and we made a brochure based on fair use guidelines and copyright laws. There's not much more I could write about this class, as there wasn't a class.

week 11, spreadsheets

In today's class we made a grade book using Microsoft excel, and explored some other functionality within excel, making an activity based off of it. The activity I chose to do was something I experienced as part of my Field Experience class, a Battleship style game, where students learn the terms horizontal, vertical, and cell, then put them to practice by trying to sink my ships.
