Tuesday’s meeting saw another plan change. We decided that each of us trying to cover a separate issue would leave us with too many categories to cover in such a brief presentation, to be able to do any part of the topic justice so it was decided that I would cover special needs children and equity issues with technology with Natalie. Natalie has talked about the positives of technology for children with special needs and I have talked about the barriers to using the technology with these children. There does not seem to be much information about from my angle but I have one source which is promising and hopefully that will lead me to others.
The group dynamic is good. Although it is difficult for us to get together as we all have other things on out side of class time, we seem to have a good rapport and the decision process seems to suit us all. Vicky and Natasha have been great at helping me put my PowerPoint together. Vicky was helpful on msn and Natasha helped me a lot when I was sitting in the hub, swearing at the computer when I could not work out how to do something. She showed me what to do before the language became too ‘colourful’ whenever she was able to do so.
I am struggling with the essay part of this assignment due to lack of information. The library has not been of much use to me so I am reduced to online sources and journal articles at the moment. I have even read some computer magazines that looked promising but ultimately failed to excite. Tonight I will hunt around for more journal articles and see what else I can find before I type my final draft.
