Assitive+TechQuest

[|Podcast for Assistive Technologies Lesson 5A.docm]


 * What was I supposed to accomplish and how?**

The purpose of this assignment was for me to do a podcast on a variety of assistive technologies that I thought were interesting or helpful and to provide a trasncript of that cast. I focused on the Tar Heel Reader, OurStory, Research and Documentation Online, Paper Rater, and Poetry Foundation.


 * What did I learn (growth/progress)?**

I learned about a number of fantastic online resources that I have already begun implementing to improve performance in my own classes.


 * What shold I have done differently?**

I don't think I should have done anything differently, except perhaps discuss a couple of other technologies that I found interesting.


 * Why is this artifact important to my targeted career?**

The value of this artifact to my career is that it reminds me of the need for constant vigilance in searching for resources that can improve teaching and learning in my classes. Paper Rater and Poerty Foundation in particular have already yielded great results for my students this semester.
