As my Assistive Technology course
is coming to an end, I wanted to take some time to reflect on my educational
journey. Throughout the course of these past few months I have learned and
experienced so many new things in the realm of special education, Universal
Design for Learning, and Assistive technology. Through my research, readings,
posts, and reflections, I have grown so much as both a student and a teacher. I
have gained a greater perspective on the importance of designing interactive
lessons that meet all of the diverse needs of today’s students and how to use
the three principles of Universal Design for Learning to provide my students
with options for engagement, action and expression, and representation. I have been exposed to so many amazing options for assistive technology that I had no idea existed before this course. I now have a library of low-tech to high-tech options that I can incorporate into my future classroom. I will
continue to use this blog as hub for my special education resources! I plan to
add additional, relevant information here as I continue to work towards my
Special Education Certification!
Thank you for taking this journey
with me! I cannot wait to explore again with you all soon!
