Class Reflection #3

Class # 3 was great. We got to spend time "playing" with Kurzweil. What a terrific way to learn! I would have never learned as much as I did without this opportunity and much needed time. I not only learned about this software but was engaged in learning in such a way that it reminded me of how we as educators are limited by time in our own professional growth and how we, due to time constraints, rush our own students in their learning thus impede the possible growth - just touching on things and rarely enough hands on time.

With Kurweil, I did do the tutorials prior to class and it was helpful but actually creating a unit that a child that we know will be using, allowed me to see how the MPTT (Milieu, Personality, Technology & Task) plays a significant role in what is created. This is individualized indeed and has so much opportunity for inclusion in the classroom unit of learning. I am so impressed with Kurzweil!
