Purpose

There are many different types of learning styles found within a classroom, some students needing different adaptations than others. As theories continue to evolve, and more research is conducted, educational strategies and techniques are becoming more appropriate and beneficial towards specific learners. One precise intervention that is becoming more apparent within a classroom is assisted technology. My main goal through my graduate level studies is to grow as a professional. As I travel through a journey of growth, I am conducting a blog that will express my studies regarding assisted technology, focusing on Universal Design for Learning. 

A little bit about me...

My name is Lizz. I am a 24 year-old graduate student, enrolled in my second semester working towards a Master Degree. I am currently employed as an aid in an Autistic Support classroom, and aspire to be a Special Education lead teacher. I am specializing in Special Education for my post-graduate courses, with a concentration of Elementary Education as an undergraduate. Throughout this blog, the common focus will be assistive technology. As a professional seeking growth, I continuously strive to participate in a personal educational journey, and commit myself intellectually to my chosen occupation. Educational philosophies are constantly evolving, self-consciously holding myself accountable to be a dedicated individual towards professional development.
