My PowerPoint would consist of six different slides to represent each different level. The first slide would be a general overview of the current unit. The second would be definition or any explanation to justify the information presented to the students. The third would be some sort of source list or other reputable list. The fourth would relate the unit to "real" life situations. The fifth slide would be an in class assignment. The sixth and final slide would be a something to help the students remember all they learned in the lesson.
Adaptive technology is essential for some students. They are extremely helpful to those with certain disabilities. There are many different types of adaptive technologies: from hearing aids to prosthetic limbs. I have known people with hearing aids and prosthetic legs. Having those things helped them live as normally as they could. The only challenge I think would arise is curiosity from other students.
This week's assignment was actually not that challenging, but very time consuming. I had issues with the first three website makers, so the final had to work! While I will admit, my site is all over the place, I think I did a pretty good job being that this is my first site. The only thing I had problems with were adding certain elements to the site that you wanted. I honestly couldn't figure it out, but I made it work.

I have looked at my own mother's school website. It's actually quite basic. I see her personal contact information. I see what subject she teaches, which is 8th grade Georgia Studies. There are links to visit the school's home web page. She also has a little box where you can email any questions or concerns.
I plan on becoming a history teacher. In my classroom I plan on using a smartboard to play educational games such as jeopardy. I would also have my students tweet twice a week, interesting history facts related to the current lecture.
This week in EME 2040 I learned how to create a wiki page. It was quite frustrating at the beginning being that it was almost impossible to create an account. I also learned how to correctly choose a web site for a source of valid information. This was very helpful because I have papers that need reputable sources. The only thing I found undesirable was the wiki page. I could be old school, but it was quite confusing, yet basic.
