Reflection for course-Reaching and Engaging All Learners Through Technology

Throughout this course I have learned about an abundant amount of new tools and resources to use in my classroom. Many of these came from my peers that I worked with in our Differentiation Station. There are so many websites to be found and I could have spent days trying to locate the ones that were shared with me. This kept us from spending so much time locating numerous sites, instead we each found a few and shared them with the group. I plan on taking these tools and resources and using them with my students when I feel they would be a benefit to them. Being that there are so many new tools and resources, I plan to set a goal to incorporate just a few a month. This way I will not become overwhelmed and can use them in the best way possible.

Being that I do teach in an inclusion classroom with students of various academic levels, this class has been great. I have been back in school for two weeks and I am already using technology to differentiate more than I did in the past. This class has helped by giving me more tools to use and so has the new Promethean board in my room. Both of these are helping me make adjustments to my lessons and classroom management in ways that will benefit all my students. I have really learned a lot from this class and am so happy that I was introduced to the CAST website, it has some wonderful tools.
