Hi again! I found this e-Book that I thought would be a great source to get a better idea on how we can teach the Net Generation.

Global Community

While gathering information on the Net Generation, I came across this interesting website. This website allows classrooms to connect with other classrooms around the world. Students can collarborate with each other to complete projects. I think that this is a neat idea, students are able to work together with others around the world to learn anything from global warming to habitats.

Assistive Technology

At first I was not quite sure what was meant by assistive technology. I was not quite sure what it was that my professor was referring to. After asking her, I had a clearer understanding of what she was looking for. So to answer your question on what assistive technology is. Assistive technology can be defined as any technological tool that assists an individual with disabilities to perform a task that they would find difficult to accomplish without it. To give you more information and examples of assistive technology you can access the following link:
