Blogroll reflection.

Well, today I experimented with my blogroll. I can see that this may become a very useful tool for people like me in the future. I think this simply because it's a fun way to keep yourself up to date on the latest topics throughout the education world.

The blogs I chose to follow all have a certain significance to me that can help me in the future, whether it be in the next couple months or the next couple years. The first blog I will discuss is the About.com Special education post by Jerry Webster. This blog has many things included on it, however the two posts that caught my eye were one about a refection of a book he read about teacher behaviors within a classroom and the second was about the Best Buddies Program, which has been mentioned to me on campus a few times.

My next blog was on a piece of Assistive technology called the Mindview 4. MatchWare MindView is a comprehensive, visual learning tool designed to help you develop and organize ideas. This is one tool i had never seen before that i could see extremely useful in a classroom

My third blog also had to do with Assistive technology in the classroom. I personally thought this was interesting too because it had all sorts of postings on how to use technology in several different situations. For example one that stood out to me was how a blind student could use an iPod touch in class. Also it includes a great post and video on how you can use low tech tools in an inclusion classroom.

And last but not least I chose a blog for me (click here for blog). You may not know this but i recently discovered that I am a sub-par Power Point user. Well, my last web blog i have chosen contains 100 ways and counting to be more successful teachers by using Power Point. The reason are clear why i chose this blog, I can use it for the rest of my teaching life!
