July 12th - Response to Class

Today in class, we had our live elluminate session on Kurzweil. I'm glad that we were able to watch the two Kurzweil webinars prior to the live session - it made it a lot easier to follow along!

Krista, Angela and I worked together one our Kurzweil curriculum activity, where we created an activity for a student with comprehension difficulties. We had fun using bubble notes and sticky notes. We googled a Kurzweil document that was very helpful in describing how to use different components of the program.

Here is the link, it's a great resource to have:


I really like the idea of making tests in Kurzweil that will assess what the student has learned. Students don't have to turn to a pencil and paper activity to show what they know - instead they can continue to work in this interactive program. Overall, I think it's a wonderful program for our reluctant readers and writers!
