I attended Week 4 Wimba, but my internet went out and lost connection for the rest of the night. Needless to say, I was not able to present.
I consequently got critiques from 2 friends. We planned a short meeting at my home. We discussed my research project and viewed the keynote presentation.
Here is what they had to say:
Natasha Tillman -Special Education Paraprofessional. I work with self-contained 11th graders in Maryland. I know that a program like Study Island will be beneficial for learning disabled students. I’ve found that students like computer generated learning systems, such as Imagination Station and Study Island because they offer a variety of subjects in a manner that entertains as well as educate. I have been able to see students engaged with technology. It is my experience that it is a great tool to help students learn. Keep doing what you’re doing.
Kathy Bourage says: As a Social Worker for the Exceptional Family Member Program for USMC, I found this research project very useful. I am always looking for the best programs for my exceptional clients. Children need to participate when they learn. It seems like this a program that the children I service could use. I would like to get more information about this web-based program to share with my parents and the schools I work with. Looking forward to seeing more information from you.
