In TPTE 486, I hope to get the most out of this class to transfer it to my classroom in the fall. Since I am in a different educational setting then general education, I have to rely on visual output to give to my students on the material we will study.
I am pretty well literate with modern technology and am well at keeping up with what is new in the tech world. How can I incorporate an Ipod with the review for the students? How can power points bring the course material alive and keep my students interest?
With the different ways of exposing us to the media, I want to really take advantage of any outlet that I can use to encourage, intrigue and challenge my students to keep them in the know with mainstream world. With the growth of technology, I am impressed that the students have easier ways to communicate with the hearing world in general. How can I bring their knowledge to light to the level where they are confident enough to perform their skills amongst hearing world?

I'm excited for you to learn more about assistive and adaptive technologies for DHH learners. There is a little bit about this in Chapter 1 of your textbook. The big push these days is to equip all schools with tools and software that have built-in adaptations for every kind of learner. It's called Universal Design for Learning (UDL).
The ATTO site might be good for you to explore. It says it's for elementary school contexts, but teachers of any age group can find basic information about UDL and assistive technologies.
