Teaching Reflection Learning Disabilities

     I feel that our lesson delivery went really well. We tried really hard to deliver the information in a clear and logical manner. We also were able to include visuals personal experiences, and hands on experiences to help teach the content. The students were engaged in the discussion. We allowed them to share their own experiences with the class to help us to better understand the disability that we taught. We also gave them a worksheet to write notes on as they listened to our presentation and as I looked around the room I could tell that most of them were actively engaging in the handout that we provided for them. If I were to teach this again by myself I would have more hands on activities. I think that we should have done more of those to help the students better understand what we were teaching. Also I think we focused too much on one of the disabilities under the umbrella. I would try to hit at least three and then mention the other ones that fit. I think the other things went well. We had good tips and information. Also, I think the video that we showed at the beginning did a good job of explaining our topic quickly and then we were able to go more in depth with it.
   
      I really think that we needed improving on our hands on experiences and again we needed to focus on more than just one of the disabilities under the umbrella. I felt that the presentation was good it just needed the content vamped up in those two areas. Our group all helped quite a bit. I felt like the work was evenly distributed and that everything came together quite nicely. We used a google power point so that we could all work on it at the same time and add new things in. We worked hard and I think that the people that we presented to came away with something new. Because of all of these things I would give our group a ten. I also put in my effort and time and was at all of the group meetings and did my part of the research. I also participated in presenting our presentation and trying to clarify things when people had questions. Because of this I would give myself a ten. This was a fun way to learn about all of the different disabilities this semester. I feel like I have learned a great deal from teaching and from being taught by my peers.
