ACC WebQuest

Well.. first off, I hope that I did the assignment right. The way I took the assignment, was as a giant scavenger hunt throughout someone else's WebQuest. Since there wasn't any given instruction on us actually making our own WebQuest, I'm assuming that this will come in future modules. Overall, I really enjoyed doing this scavenger hunt type of assignment. I felt that collecting data and notes on different case studies is a good way to individualize each student based on their abilities, and to present them in according ways to fit their personal needs. I chose the student with multiple disabilities mainly because it seems as though this student has similar disabilities to that of my cousin, Tara. While collecting the data and resources for the student, I couldn't help but think of how these resources could be used for Tara, too. It's very interesting to see how students differ and are alike all at the same time. Thats the beauty in the world of Exceptional Education.. not only do we see new things every day, we learn new things as well.

As for ACC as a whole, I find it a wonderful tool that any educator should take full advantage of in their classroom. Because education today is now based on collaboration and the idea that not all students learn the same, I find it very important for teachers to continue implementation of new ideas and tools that students can use to complete their curriculum assignments! In the special education classroom more importantly, students are given the tools needed to further assist them in making strides towards IEP goals, as well as assessments and accountability in the school. I can see myself using these tools on a daily basis with my students in a special education setting.
