Week 2 SPED310 response


This week I really liked doing the vote with feet. I think it was a great way to address the different principles that we talked about it in an interesting and new way. I think that it was fun to be able to walk around to each corner of the room and choose what we felt on the subject. I think there can be every side to a story but it was nice to voice our opinions and be able to debate in a friendly way. I think that it is nice to also see all different perspectives even if one is more favorable. The activity was very helpful to voice our opinions and talk to our neighbors that were by us. It definitely was helpful when the tough questions came up. I know that it is nice to talk about hard subjects because you can bounce ideas off of each other.

I realized that as we were going over certain topics, I had a lot more opinion and say then I thought I would. I realized I had done more work with students with disabilities then I had imagined. I know that at first i was a little unsure of myself. But after reading the questions, I noticed that I had been exposed to a lot more stuff then I knew.

When I was in high school, I was a teachers aid and helped with students that had disabilities. I loved working in that class because I really grew a love for these children. I understood them and knew them very well. I thought it was a great experience for me and taught me patience and love. I think that it helped me to be more aware of other peoples situations as well. I can't wait for this class to unfold, to learn more and grow!!
