The Final Post

This experience has been great for developing my teaching strategies.I have completed four modules discussing assistive technology for students with special needs. This blog is to reach out to other teachers to help assist their teaching journey and educate on new topics. I know as a teacher I will be using many of these ideas and strategies in my future. I was unaware of many of the tools and devices that I have researched. I am more comfortable now that I have been educated on many of these topics. Therefore, I can reach out to all of my students and help them learn to their fullest potential.  I have learned many different types and options about AT devices then I would ever expect before this class. I understood what differentiation in a lesson was, but I did not know what the term Universal Design Learning meant. This has opened my eyes to so many options in my classroom. I am now aware that every student learns differently and how to reach them. I researched different toolkits and tutorials that helped me gain the full understanding of UDL. I am now comfortable to use these ideas to better my lessons and add more variety to my classroom. In addition, I learned a tremendous amount about special needs and the devices to help benefit the students learning experiences. I now have this resource to relate back to and help guide me through my teaching career. I will always be learning to educate  my students and myself for life
