Blog Post #7

Assistive technology is used for students who have a disability and needs assistance. For instance, the podcast refers to how a student who has a physical may use a text to speak software to read their material. Also, a braille printer would allow a blind student to read. From my experience, I have never witnessed a student use an assistive technology.  The only challenges I can picture with using an adaptive technology in class is how the student might fall behind if they are new with the technology
From working on the Web Page Design assignment, I have become more creative with my layout design. I enjoyed how I a lot of freedom of where to insert new material, however, I was not a fan of how I could not but more than one picture on the same row. With weebly, I could create a website that the guardians of my patients may use in order to stay up-to-date.

Through Diigo, I learned an innovative way to mark important parts of an article. Diigo would be great for the classroom because students may help one another by explaining why certain parts of a piece is important. Incorporating the suggestion of another individual’s thoughts into our work can tremendous change the results.
