Post #2

One website I explored in the integration corner was about colonial williamsburg. It was able to take students on an electronic field trip to Williamsburg. It had video and links that took you through the excavation of artifacts and remnants of the colonial times. They had all kinds of videos to show you what life was like in that time period.

The ideas and techniques we used this week in Microsoft Word will come in handy when we start teaching. Creating lesson plans, newsletters, handouts, worksheets, these are all usefull things that will save us time in creating and using with our students.

A piece of assistive technology that I learned about is a reading pen for students with dyslexia. It is a word scanner that the students use while they read. They scan the text and it reads it back to them. It also contains a dictionary if the student doesn't know a word. It helps the students with dyslexia that have trouble reading, it helps them learn to read correctly and effectively.
