Day 8 July 13

Today I felt like we were a group of mad scientists Working on an experiment that grew several new and unexpected appendages. Keeping track or staying on track seemed overwhelming. Having said that I am pleased with the decision to create a new blogs to contain our class profile and some videos that show children with the disabilities that we are discussing. This put real faces to the issue and sometimes gave insights as to learning issues and solutions. We also have a third blog which will contain information on the assistive technology that our students will use. This will help them participate in the writing tasks that will be required in the blog design around the plastic theme. This is the key part of our project because whether we use project based learning or traditional models, the bottom line is what we can do to help students learn. How can we help them get past the impediments that stand in the way of their success. I feel that our blogs will be an excellent resource toward that end. So it is worth finishing every day feeling wiped out. I think our group will be proud of the outcome....especially if we meet our presentation deadline with time to practice.
