Day Seven: PowerPoint, Technology & Disability, and Behavior

Today, Dr. Bracey gave a brief lecture on developing a powerful lecture for all types of students.  This lecture was to encourage us to think of all types of students as we develop our PowerPoint presentation for our GAETI lessons.
Dr. Bracey's lecture was a great introduction to the PowerPoint Essentials lesson that we received from Stephanie Agnew at the MSU library. Agnew gave an awesome lesson on how to create a powerpoint presentation and use PowerPoint 2013.
Next, we visited the T. K. Martin Center for Technology and Disability. We were able to tour the facility and learn about all the different technologies they have to assist disabled people and those with learning disabilities.
After lunch, we continued to work on the art technology piece that we started on yesterday. I absolutely love all the art that we have been doing.   
Last but not least,  we were graced with the presence of Ms. Bonita Smith, in which she presented and provided activities for the group to complete on the ABCs of Managing Inappropriate Behavior. We learned a lot about peer mediated interventions,  teacher mediated interventions and strategies,  and self mediated strategies.
