This week was an online class, and I found the material very interesting. This weeks topic was using technology to teach differentiated instruction. Virtual field trips were a major topic this week as well as teacher tube, Google docs, and Google wiki. I really think these resources are great because they are free. Teachers have limited funds from their school districts to buy supplies, so taking advantage of free resources is an amazing task. I also really like Virtual field trips because they can be rewarding for students when they are physically unable to go somewhere because of a physical disability. All student, regardless of disability status, should have an excellent quality of life. This quality of life entails being active in school field trips and experiencing hands-on educational activities such as field trips. I really believe that the stigma for students with disabilities is that they are incapable of understanding, but research has shown that this is not the case, especially in regards to Autism. I believe in giving every student the opportunity to enrich their lives with countless opportunities. I think that teachers should set and maintain high standards for all of their students. This includes including students with disabilities on field trips even if virtual field trips are the only reasonable method.
