I think one great strength I have when it comes to the NET standards as well as the UNI standards is that I know how to communicate well with my students using technology. I will have email, blogs, websites, texts, phone calls, and etc. to stay in contact with my students. This way they can contact me whenever needed and I can do the same for them. One weakness from the UNI standards I noticed that I have is using technology to help the students that are disabled in one way or another. I don't really know how to integrate those topics very well.
One goal that I have to make sure that students with disabilities are able to use technology in my classes as well is to have a variety of different levels of programs to use. Some students that are more capable may be working on harder programs that are more difficult to understand while students that are struggling more will be dealing with the simpler to use programs. Another goal I have is to make assignments on several different levels that will allow students at all learning levels to participate and receive an equal opportunity. I will have some assignments that are more in depth than others to challenge the students that need the challenge as well.
In order to achieve my goals of incorporating technology with the learning disabled, I will go through a tutorial that was posted online by the Journal of Learning disabilities. This explains what assistive technologies have been produced for the benefit of disabled students. I will also watch a podcast that was posted on youtube by Marlene MacIntosh. It is a series of seven different vidcasts that explains different forms of technology that can help the learning disabled.
