Hello, My name is Daymee Sanchez and I am a sophomore at Florida State University. I am studying Special Education and Visual Disabilities, with the end goal of hopefully becoming a SPED teacher. I enjoy working with students, and assisting those with disabilities, as they too deserve equal access to a safe educational space.
I have used several different types of technological gadgets/apps in the classroom. One of the fist advancements I saw in educational technology was back in middle school, when we all received tablets to complete our work. I have also used applications such as Microsoft Office for certifications, and Edmodo for classroom assignments in high school. I have begun to use Canvas a lot now, because of school.
I hope I'm able to learn the skills and techniques needed to execute a class using different technological apps and gadgets. How to use them, when to use them, and knowing which ones are most effective are good to know before using in the classroom. I hope to learn how to tailor to different students needs, as there are mixed views about whether technology in the classroom is a good or bad thing. This will help me decide how to use the gadgets, and to what extent.
Nice to meet you Daymee! We have an entire week dedicated for tech that deals with students with special needs. I am sure you can bring in a lot from you background to this class.
