That Lab trip 2 weeks ago was so cool! I knew FSU offered services like that but seeing what they do first hand was really fascinating. This semester I have been working with PWDs in my other classes and I am glad that it is being taught in our curriculum because it is a topic that needs discussion to break stigmas. The assistive technology was really familiar to me, like the text to speech and zooming programs, and the computer that zoomed in to books. The braile textbooks were probably the coolest part of the trip for me. This technology is specificically helpful to PWDs and since they are the worlds largest minority group it is nice to see the tech in action. Now I know what I would bring to the table with this sort of technology, and who i would be helping, and more importantly, how I would help them. All in all, good time, will probs go back for the ilsp.

Powerpoint is a powerful tool when it comes to presentations. It is really my only tool these days. I easily made a powerpoint based on the solar system merely a few moments ago. If i were to use it to teach Bloom's Taxonomy, I would use it step by step, discussing in detail each aspect of it. This stretches across grade levels, but as the grade goes up, discuss in further detail with more facts and less colorful images. Lower level grades would see more images to explain the concept, while older grade levels may have questions posed to them to promote critical thinking. I may have misread this second paragraph font, but I won't delete anyways. each grade level would face a higher level in the taxonomy, such as younger students only having to accomplish smaller tasks for reward while older students need to achieve the whole ladder.
