1. PowerPoint is an incredible learning tool for students and incorporating this into a lesson can be a great resource for student success. A great way to do this is by teaching a lesson of learning how to do division. First by remembering what the student have learned on times tables, you can review this topic and showing them on the slide. Then by understanding the key terms for division, as well as the basic steps to solve a division problem. Then apply what you know and have them each do a problem that is on a slide. By analyzing their notes and work, they can organizer their thoughts and notes given by the slides of information. Then they can then Evaluate their work by looking at the solutions and steps provided on this slide. Then the students can create new knowledge and can do an activity listed on the power point.

1. adaptive technology is "any object or system that is specifically designed for the purpose of increasing or maintaining the capabilities of people with disabilities. Some of these would include, handheld amplifiers, Screen reader software, and screen magnifiers. I knew one student who went to my high school who had a visual disability and he used screen reader software so that way things on his computer would be spoken to him. I feel like the biggest challenge is not having the funds or resources to provide these devices and software to students who need them.
2. I really liked the idea of having a website as a teacher. It is an easy way to have all your information easily accessible to parents at all times. I learned that Weebly is a great website to be able to create free websites. The only thing is I found it a tad difficult to use and set up my website exactly how I wanted it to look. I would make sure to update the website as frequently as possible for parents and make sure i am comfortable using the website.
3. I have learned that Diigo is a great tool for myself and being able to share information with other teachers at my school or in my community. Also, when I find great information on a website, i can highlight and bookmark it so I can refer to it later.
