I discovered that my experience with the issues of Standard VI as a technology educator is limited. Understanding copyright laws has been the only aspect of the legal issue that I have studied in previous courses. The students I teach do have diverse abilities and I select technology resources that provide learning opportunities. The Adobe PowerPoint artifact is a representation of the assistive technology available from Adobe products. This demonstrates equitable technology access for students and how I am able to accommodate their needs.
In my inclusion classes, it is necessary that all students achieve success. Parents can provide valuable support and assistance for their children. The Webliography artifact will furnish Internet resources for parents to consult. My competency and effectiveness will be shown by indicating to parents the availability of information and technology that can aid them and their children.
My professional development for Standard VI will involve ongoing research to remain current and knowledgeable. I will continue to find assistive services and devices for enabling students with learning disabilities. I will also implement strategies that I find that address the diverse student population while being equitable for all learners.
