02/19/10 Weekly Repsone

Unfortunately I am still unable to post my web cam response so with that being said I have to write it. As far as this week I feel more comfortable with using the blog website and had a great time reading my fellow classmates responses along with reading about them and their educational experiences. As far as the literacy toolkit I learned many different strategies that I plan to incorporated in my classes currently and in the near future. During my reading and active research I noticed that educators should provide student the opportunity to Pre & Post test in order to get actual understanding of what content material should be covered again in order to reinforce the lesson for all students. I also learned that the media should be heavily incorporated into the lesson to help students visualize specific information. What I would do differently in my toolkit, I would include a great deal of lessons that touch upon each multiple intelligences that will help my specific students within the field of special education get an opportunity to show their talents in certain content area classes along with keeping their interest at heart. Which will help them learn that subject matter because they are fully engaged.
