We participated in today's class through an Elluminate Live session. I've participated in several of these prior to today; however, this was my first experience with being put into separate classrooms to do group work. Such a powerful tool - I can see many uses for this in my current position. Working with twenty-one schools, I could really cut down on the costs and time involved in travel if I were to engage the staffs in professional learning through Elluminate Live. I will have to investigate this further.
Our group added the class profile to our blog page with a direct link to a website containing information on each of the disabilities. We researched and collaborated on some possible AT's for our students with the specific disabilities. We also used inspiration to organize one level of a task analysis required to create a blog page. We then took the subtopic of Reading and attempted to further develop it. We used the information from the Sousa article to guide us with this. We finally added a video of a blogger tutorial to our web page.
I'm really enjoying this project but I'm beginning to feel that the further or deeper we get into the project the deeper we are required to go. Considering all the components involved such as the student product, blog page, presentation to the B. ED. students, etc, I think we have to be careful not to lose sight of the project itself. It can be overwhelming!!
