WEEK TWO RESOURCE IDEAS

I WAS VERY AMAZINED BY EVERYTHING I WAS READING AND LEARNING ABOUT IN THESES RESOURCES FOR THIS WEEK. I THOUGHT THAT THE GOOGLE TRANSLATE FORMULA FROM GOOGLE SHEETS WAS THE GREATEST THING EVER.  I KNOW THAT WITH MY FAMILY COMING FROM POLAND ENGLISH WAS NOT OUR FIRST LANGUAGE AND IT WAS DIFFICULT TO LEARN.  MY PAERNTS AND GRANDPARENTS STILL STRUGGLE WITH TRANSLATING WORDS AND I THINK ONCE I SHOWED THEM THIS TOOL THEY WILL SEE HOW EASY IT COULD BE WITH THE RIGHT RESOURCES.  IT WILL ALSO HELP WITH COMMUNITCAITON THROUGHT OUT THE WHOLE FAMILY BECAUSE I CAN SHOW THIS TO MY COUSINS AND THEY CAN SEE THE TRANSLATION THEY NEED WHEN TALKING TO GRANDMA OR GRANDPA.  

ANOTHER THING THAT I REALLY LIKED FROM THIS WEEKS RESOURCES WAS LEARNING ABOUT ALL THE DIFFERENT TOOLS THAT ARE OUT THERE, LIKE THE TEXT TO SPEECH, READ ALOUD, VISOR, OR THE FLOATING MAGNIFYING CLASS.  I NEVER EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT SOME ONE THESE TOOLS, BUT I CAN SEE HOW GREATLY THEY CAN HELP STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES.  

 THEN MY FAVORITE THING THAT I GOT OUT OF THE RESOURCES WAS THE “MOVE IT” TOOL.  I REALLY LIKE THIS TOOL BECAUSE I DO HAVE A SHORT ATTENTION SPAN AND GET VERY DISTRACTED.  WITH THIS TOOL HELPS ME REGROUP MYSELF EVERY SO OFTEN.  WHEN THE "MOVE IT" SCREEN COMES UP ON THE MONITOR YOU MUST DO AS IT SAYS AND MOVE IT. I LOVE THIS IDEA BECAUSE NOT ONLY ARE YOU GETTING THAT MOVEMENT IN, BUT BY DOING SO YOU ARE INCREASING YOU BLOOD FLOW.  INCREASING YOUR BLOOD FLOW HELPS YOU THINK BETTER AND EVEN FEEL BETTER. SO, GET UP AND MOVE IT!
