Adaptive technology

Scene1
I would say that within the first week of school I would try my best to learn what each students needs are. I would then have to sit down and think about how I could make whatever activity that is planned accommodate them. At any point of the year that I might come across an activity that is too difficult to change I would consider either a totally different activity for the class as a whole or maybe for just the student that is having a problem. I mean how many different ways can you do a certain activity that is planned for the day.
Scene2
When having a problem in the classroom and with accommodating your activities and children, it is best to consult with other teachers and get ideas and opinions. They may help you realize things that may have been blocked from your mind and things like that. In many ways, this helps you become a better teacher and helps with your instruction.
Scene3
It is making it a lot easier to accommodate every child. Her ideas are great. Oscar can't read so by reading the story out loud to the students he will be able to understand the story since he has trouble reading. He can then draw out the picture book and write in his journal.
Scene4
I have not yet actually used web quest, but I do not see anything wrong with using it to meet the students needs. In fact, I believe that it would be to help Oscar out. It seems that the students can learn a lot from what they are trying to accomplish.
Scene5
It seems that all the children in that group got a along very well and was understanding of Oscar's needs. They were whisper reading that would help Oscar out since he had vision trouble. No, I think by including him, it helped build him up and learn how to work with others.
Scene6
By reading the each story to the students it helped oscar with the assignments so that he could do them. By having the students work in groups it may have helped those who have trouble working alone. By showing the children a sample of what she was expecting it helped them to better understand what they needed to do. Sometimes by showing the children and talking to the children it will help those who cant see and those who have trouble reading and understanding.
