PME 800 Week One Reflection

Did I achieve this week's proximal goal?

This week my goal was to identify five research-based strategies for working with students with Dyslexia. As I began to dive into the research phase of my project I was excited to find an abundance of resources. When I am working to complete this research I am working to keep my target audience in mind. I want to ensure that the strategies and research I share in my final website is easily comprehensible and can be easily implemented in the classroom.

One of the resources I was most excited about was a video called What is Dyslexia? by Kelli Sandman-Hurley. This video presents statistics and brain research about Dyslexia in a highly relatable and comprehensible manner. What I liked most about this resource was that it encourages the view to celebrate the neurodiversity of all humans.



 What were my challenges?

While completing research this week one of my greatest challenges was evaluating resources. When I set my distal learning goal I wanted to identify 10 resources that teachers could use in the classroom to gain a deeper understanding of Dyslexia and identify applicable strategies that could be used in the classroom.


How do I need to revise my planning based on what I know now?

In order to further refine my research goal, I decided that I wanted to include resources from a variety of mediums including written summaries of my research, videos, and pictures. For each resource I am asking myself the question, "How will this help teacher's?".

Did I achieve this week's proximal goal? This week my goal was to identify ten research-based strategies for working with students with Dyslexia and to complete the outline for my website. This week I was able to successfully identify ten resources for my website. As I did my research I continued to work to ensure that the strategies and research I used the strategy of asking myself, "How will this help teacher's?" I found that asking this question allowed me to more easily refine my research. As I completed research this week, one area I spent more time researching was the use of assistive technology to help students with Dyslexia. One tool I found particularly interesting was a Chrome extension called Announcify. Unfortunately, I was not able to complete the outline for my website this week. I plan to complete this Monday and Tuesday this week in order to maintain appropriate progress to reach my next proximal goal.  What were my challenges? ...

Did I achieve this week’s proximal goal? This week my goal was to finish my website and share the completed website with teachers at my school. I wanted to receive feedback about the readability and usefulness of the website. Praise: I found it very visual and informative. It was a place where you can find information about not only what dyslexia is, but how to understand it and many approaches to teach and help students/children learn. I especially like the short videos of information that shared teaching strategies and student voice to their approaches to learning.  There is a lot of great information on here that is easy to access and navigate.I really love how you included videos of what certain teaching strategies look and sound like. Your site looks great.  It's clean and easy to read.  I like how the content is listed in bullet points.  For busy teachers, this is a perfect way to get information quickly and easily.   This looks awesom...
