Great class!!!! Using the programs and developing them is so worth it. I think once you get comfortable with each program such as cloz pro. you will be able to implement the programs efficiently to your students. Looking forward to using all the technology in the upcoming months with my students.

I enjoyed this weeks class very much. I discovered that some teachers are using Cloze Pro to write social stories. This is a great idea for some students that are having difficulties. You can use pictures for a visual aide to support the social story. I am impressed. Every week I leave learning something different. With this said I am able to go back and support teachers in the classroom environment and work closely with my PSA's to support them in the classroom with the use of technology.

Using the graphic organizer is important for your students to be able to have a visual outline and organize their information. I found it difficult to use because we had so many ideas and sub topics. It was hard to develop and organize so much in such a limited space. With practice I am sure I will be able to do a better job!!!!!

I am really enjoying the course so much. This weeks class with the introduction of the start to finish books was great. Again there are so many options for you as a teacher and the needs of your students. By adjusting the reading and response questions to meet all your students needs is great. Looking forward to learning so much more!!!!!!!
