Finished! (I think)

I have been working very hard on my Curriculum integration report (as I understand it) and finished my professional growth plan with the help of several teachers who are currently teaching. I never copied any of theirs, but took ideas from theirs. I learned to keep it simple and to not make it flashy!

Curriculum Integration Progress Report

I have figured out how to break my paper down and it will follow this outline!

• What is the iPad and what is Autism?
• How were autistic students taught in the past?
• What technology has been invented, modified or adapted
• What were the outcomes of my professional dialogue feedback and experiences of teachers
• Summary of findings/future recommendations                        
• Resources

Leading a Discussion!

I finally found the time and knowledge to lead a discussion. It was stressful but very informative when you have teachers who have taught longer than you offering their knowledge!

Trying to figure out old curriculum.

I have started my Curriculum Issue Identification paper... I will have to break it down into smaller chunks. I still find the objective confusing but I will do:

A. How was the writing curriculum was taught in the past

Pencil with lose-leaf and photocopies.

Fill in the blanks



B. What technology has been invented, modified or adapted

Examples of technology to help with writing.


C. How can this technology now be used

* Pitfalls/Considerations



D. What were the outcomes of my professional dialogue

feedback and experiences of teachers


E. Summary of findings/future recommendations
