For my assignment I really wanted to find away to focus on the special education department. Throughout the semester we have talked about many different ways to incorporate technology into the classroom, but not about specifically a special needs classroom. After watching a few videos I found one that talks about the use of iPods in a special needs class. My assignment would be to watch the video Introducing iPods into Special Education and then wright one or two paragraphs about this video.
Before watching this video I would have had no idea how an iPod could be used in a regular classroom more less a special needs class. I think it is amazing how far this class has come since first getting the iPods for there classroom. They have really put there minds together to go above and beyond for the students. I think it is a great idea to make videos of books, vocabulary words, and other resources that the students can bring home. This not only allows for the students to continue to keep learning the materials at home but also allows for the parents to participate in the same materials there child is going over in the classroom at home. I also think that it was a great idea to use the iPod to help the student gain a better understanding of the procedure he was going to be having on his eye. This semester I have learned so many different ways technology can be used in a classroom but this video goes to show that the limits are endless technology can be used in any class.
"...then wright one or two paragraphs about this video...." Since you want students to write, you need to write correctly yourself!

Your "doing" the assignment is brief and hard to follow.
