3 Things Learned
1. While the other chapters of the book cover areas that are important to disability students and all students, the biggest problem for disability students is accessibility.
2. Providing alternative resources and assistive devices to students with special needs is possibly one of the best options and is what makes integration into special needs or disability students so encouraging.
3. Inclusion is the process of including special education students into the general education classroom in which case all future teachers need to be aware of the strategies for helping special education students with technology integration.

1. Knowing now about inclusion and how it came about I can now better prepare myself when I may come across a situation with special education students and my eventual need to integrate them not only with their fellow classmates but with technology as well.
2. Many of the programs listed in the writing skills and reading skills section may eventually be extremely important since I will be an English teacher. One in particular that I liked was Write: OutLoud which allows students to hear what they have written.
1 Question
What can I do to help students if I'm in a position where assistive technology devices are nonexistent and funding is lacking in that area?

Chapter 14 Response
3 Things Learned
1. With video a PE teacher could show and point to exactly what a student might be doing wrong with a certain action or motion in certain sports.
2. For health education I really liked the idea on using a webquest to have students research or look up certain health aspects. In this way students can have an interactive way of processing the information rather than straight up direct instruction.
3. I also liked the interdisciplinary instruction approach to teaching health or physical education. Including math and/or science into the teaching of these areas can put into perspective the importance or reason for physical and health education
2 Connections
1. With certain students it can be difficult finding things to write about in the English discipline. But with some students who are very sport oriented, this provides a great topic for them to maybe relay through writing.
2. Continuing the interdisciplinary look at things students could learn the science, learn the process by doing it, and then learn how to write about it.
1 Question
How could I find a way to integrate health education into a lesson on literature?

Classroom Assessment: Minute by Minute, Day by Day Response
3 things learned
1. I really liked the reference to quality assurance and quality control. As the article articulated assessment for learning requires an ongoing recognition of having to adjust and the quality of the learning.
2. Clarifying intentions and expectations for the students I believe is possibly one of the best methods for getting the students to participate better in class. Once a teacher or anybody can level with the student and tell them why they do what they do the student will most likely be more apt to do a better job with the material.
3. Providing feedback that moves students forward is something I'm not sure if I considered, but is definitely something that is very important because if I were to just say good job and hand an assignment back what would the student really get from that feedback besides satisfaction that I approved.
2 Connections
1. The one I like most is providing feedback that moves students forward. With this I could encourage students to pursue an idea for a project or help them to further concrete a certain topic that we might be discussing.
2. I would like to encourage the 'owners of their learning' as the article put it. Once a student can feel responsible for what they have learned or what they need to learn they can then be more likely to want to do well.
1 Question
1. How can I best accomplish implementation of assessment for learning into my own instructional strategies, as well as my own technology instructional strategies?
