While technology can be helpful in general education classrooms, it can make a huge impact on children with disabilities. My career path is a little different than most getting their Masters in Education. I am hoping to work closely with parents and their children diagnosed with Autism. This video discusses the impact that has been seen when children with autism utilize iPads.

If you had a child with autism in your classroom, how would you utilize the technology that you had available?

We see all of these success stories about how schools have used technology in the classroom but we do not see any stories of how the school went about of getting the technology into the classroom. I have found an article that explains the massive hurdles that need to be taken in order for school to get the technology into the classroom and the preparation it takes.

While growing up in the Los Angeles School I had a hard time learning the traditional ways that teachers taught and it seemed that if students couldn't learn the way that the teachers were teaching, they would be left out. I believe that the way technology is being used in schools today , students will be presented to different ways of learning instead of one-way fits all. This video that I found on YouTube goes us 10 reasons to why we should use technology in schools. Pick one and tell us how you think it would have benefited you if you were still in high school.

"Embracing the Digital Brain"......technology is changing the way we teach, think and learn. Are you embracing the change or struggling?  I am embracing the change and trying to use technology to increase engagement in my classroom.

Flipped Classrooms seem to be becoming more popular in junior high and high school.  With students having more access to technology, the flipped classroom allows students to view content of the class outside the classroom via online video’s, tutorials, or other methods.  The in-class time is spent on working on the homework associated with the content, problem solving, and working on projects.  Research states that students are more engaged and there is more academic success with this method as compared to the older traditional classroom approach.

      Click on the following link to view a video on Flipped Classrooms.  What are your thoughts on the flipped classroom method of teaching?  Do you think this method of teaching is beneficial to students?  Also, do you think this method of teaching could be used in the middle school setting or possibly the elementary setting?
