I decided to choose a pretty sensitive topic for my
simulation, and that is children with learning disabilities and how they are affected
as well as the families that care for them. I decided to go with this topic
based on the increasing numbers of children suffering with this problem in the
last 20 years so it makes me question is this growing problem environmental,
genetic or could it be something else? I am now beginning to gather resources
and information to further understand this problem and I feel more confident
going into this assignment then I did at the start of class. I am anxiously waiting
to see what new details I will find out. I think that I had a fear of reading and
understanding everything involved in a research article but now I understand that
not everything that is included in the article is pertinent information and
does not always have to be read or examined. I am learning new terms and
increasing my vocabulary with the simulation and beginning stages of performing
my research. I am learning so much from
this class already, from such insightful colleagues and I am so very grateful. If
anyone has any information to add to my postings please feel free. I am looking
for any suggestions that can be offered to help me along in this journey. If
anyone has any resources to share I would be more than grateful.
Hi Kereba,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your blog. I think learning more about the causes of children's learning disabilities is very important for us as educators. I am researching poverty and how children's social, emotional and cognitive growth are affected when living in poverty. I would assume our topics would have a correlation of cause.
Best of Luck, Diana
Hello Diana,
ReplyDeleteI think you make a great point, I think both o our topics are very closely related. Poverty and it's effects was a strong interest of mine and I focused many assignments in my last class on this topic. I think you will find many sources of information and find some interesting facts. Good luck to you as well!
