This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
Special education is a service provided to students with educational disabilities. Exceptional students are those who fall outside of the normal range of development. The term “exceptional” has often been used to describe unusual, unique, or outstanding qualities of people or objects. Consider the following phrases: “His artwork is exceptional” and “She is exceptionally bright.” In this case, the term “exceptional” refers to students who learn and develop differently from most others or students who have exceptional learning styles, exceptional talents, or exceptional behaviors. These are my children. Every day is not easy but they motivate me to get up everyday and live life hopefully.
Each child in my classroom absolutely loves learning, although the method and environment in which they learn best vary greatly.
I incorporate a variety of learning strategies, group work, and alternative seating and learning options to ensure that each student's needs are met, right where they are! They are truly an incredible group, and I am so lucky and thankful to have a new group of learners that are excited and ready to learn each year!
My Project
No one learns in the same way because of different learning styles and different abilities. Technology provides great opportunities for making learning more effective for everyone with different needs. For example, students can learn at their own speed, review difficult concepts or skip ahead if they need to.
Further more, Amazon Fire Tablets can provide more opportunities for struggling or disabled students.
Students can gain the skills they will need to be successful in the future. Modern learning is about collaborating with others, solving complex problems, critical thinking, developing different forms of communication and leadership skills, and improving motivation and productivity. Amazon Fire Tablets provides different opportunities to make learning more fun and enjoyable in terms of teaching same things in new ways. Students who are engaged and interested in things they are studying, are expected to have a better knowledge retention. As mentioned before, Amazon Fire Tablets can help to encourage active participation in the classroom which also is a very important factor for increased knowledge retention.
