taking a quest
This was my first web quest, and it was pretty confusing to me. The directions were very simple, but filling out the chart was difficult for me. Each link took you to another link and then another link. Then when you click another link it took me back to the same page. I found it difficult because many of the links I used were broken and the page could not be found. I chose the case study on Sarah, who is hearing impaired. I found laws of AT, and many ways to fund. I also found wonderful resources to use in the future. In order to use this in the future in my classroom, it would be an in class assignment. This way any broken links or questions could be answered immediately. This assignment can incorporate all subject areas, and will always strengthen the knowledge of navigating on the internet. I learned that AAC can support students participation for any age in many social and academic activities. AAC can only benefit all students at an early age. AAC can be used for students to communicate in their specific way. This will benefit myself as a teacher because I have been exposed to many tools that can help my classroom in the future. By building my knowledge early just as AAC does with students, I will be ready to take on any situation in my classroom.

I understand the frustration of having a variety of links on your "quest". However, the idea here is that it is much more limited than the millions of links/websites a student would encounter if they did a simple "google" search on their topic, for example. At least with this concept, a student is limited to the sites that they are expected to explore and visit (and the teacher has paired down the resources to only the ones that are most appropriate and valuable).
ReplyDeleteYou state that AAC can only benefit sutdents at an early age (do you mean NOT only?). Readlly AAC is for an individual at any age (including adults) who need assistive technology to assist them on every day tasks-- including communication and other academic requirements.
