I used diigo to find new websites. There were a lot of great websites that I was able to access just by typing in a few words. I was able to see which websites were the most popular, and view comments on them. This was very interesting.
I"m really excited about these websites. They are tools for special needs students. The first website breaks down each specific disability and offers a variety of websites, teching tips, and activities for students with specific learning disabilities. This is a great tool for those who are not as aware on how to educate to the specific needs of the students in their classroom. The next website is especially useful for all of those little ones in our classroom who require a lot visual supports. I've used this website a lot and it has become one of my best friends. Pre-K and Kindergarten teachers could find a lot of great resources (including visual schedules, reinforcement ideas, behavior charts, social stories)...really it's a great asset to have. With inclusion becoming more and more active in our schools, these could both be great tools for not only a special educator, but a general ed teacher. It's obviously not just me who works with these kids, but mainly the general ed teachers. If anyone has time take a look at these two websites. They could be very useful for all of us!
