Presentation from Chris

Reaction to presentation.

I really enjoyed the presentation on technology to help children with certain mobility or other disability's. I think that presentation is one that every person going into teaching should see. Some of the technology that we looked at was so simple but would make such a difference in a child's ability to learn. I can see how it might be difficult to acquire some of the expensive items, but it is nice to know that legally the school board is required to provide those things. As a teacher my job would be so much easier if those students who needed a little extra assistance had technology to help them, rather that an aide of some sort. even the simple things like the light that turns on would really help someone who could not raise their hand.

The presenter did a good job of keeping my attention for the entire class time. I enjoyed looking at the items and figuring out what they did. Since some of these items were simple enough to figure out with no instruction, this would be nice for students with a learning disability, or a student who is a slow learner.
