Learning+Log+4

=**Learning Log #4**= In class: In class today, we talked about AAC (Augmentative Alternative Communication). I have not had to teach a student who have use AAC before, this is all new to me. Board making was really neat to learn about and how to use it if i never needed to for a students. There are three types of AAC, no tech, low tech, and high tech. See some of the devices that might be used in the classroom or even for elderly. I loved the books that had been modified by having boardmaker pictures in them so the student could read the book themselves. Finding something that the person using it would loves to do allows them to learn and use the devices. We also went on different websites to see different devices that can be used. These devices are not cheap and you wonder who can afford them.

Readings: Looking at the readings, I was overwhelmed what how many there were. I had to come back to them at a later time because I didn't know where to begin. One of the website there references with different topic to look at and many of the same articles were under different sections. I liked that they broke up the topics in AT and employment, AT and Learning, AT and student with mild disabilities, etc. I really did not read one through but I did skim through many of them. These websites are great to have as reference to use at a later time. I enjoyed opening many of them but really enjoyed knowing I can go back to them.
