Our+Group+Reflection

Anissa Andrews: I enjoyed working on this assignment and feel that it has been a valuable learning experience. As a media specialist, I am responsible for creating a collection that is accessible for all students. This project allowed me to explore creative options for students with various disabilities and needs. After completing this assignment, I feel confident that I would be capable of modifying and creating books for students with special needs.

Tiffany Griffith: I learned a great deal from this assignment. My group members brought so much to the table with their new ideas and fresh looks at older topics. Everyone worked well together and we each contributed to each other's sections with welcomed suggestions. I hope to take the ideas I learned from this assignment into my classroom one day and implement them accordingly. I loved the way we took one story and made it readable for so many different types of learning levels.

Meagan McKinney: What a great idea for a project. I never thought about modifications for the types of books children with disabilities read. This project will come in handy with the students I work with at school. My students work with students who have physical and mental disabilities and will have fun using our project to read to them in different ways. This project made me think of the type of Reading program I need to implement in my classroom and how it can improve programs in our entire school. I enjoyed collaborating with my group members, and learning through their examples and ideas.

Pamela (Kate) Terry: I really enjoyed this assignment and working with this group. I have no experience working with students with disabilities; therefore, I was able to learn a great deal about the needs of special education students. I really enjoyed adapting the books for both visually and physically impaired students. I also liked collaborating and learning from my group members.
