Resume
The artifacts I have included are a Webliography of resources on inclusion and a PowerPoint presentation on the assistive technologies that are available through the Microsoft Corporation. I created the Webliography for Technology in the Special Education Curriculum. This artifact demonstrates my competency in this standard because I was able to locate various resources available on the Internet on the inclusion of special needs students. By completing this task, I have effectively applied technology resources to enable and empower learners with diverse backgrounds, characteristics, and abilities.
The second artifact, a PowerPoint presentation on assistive technologies, was created for Introduction to Educational Technology. This artifact further demonstrates my competency in this standard because I have properly identified and recommended adaptive/assistive hardware and software for students and teachers with special needs. Furthermore, I presented the information by utilizing a powerful piece of software, Microsoft PowerPoint.
Both of the artifacts I have included are wonderful resources that any effective technology facilitator should possess. These resources may be distributed to colleagues and parents interested in obtaining information about the before-mentioned topics in education. Yet, these resources, to maintain their effectiveness, must continually be updated based on changing laws and trends in technology. I will continue to alter their content and also create other resources in different content areas to remain proficient with this standard.
