I have learned many tools and strategies to add to my teaching repertoire, but most importantly I have gained confidence as a teacher to explore and integrate technology during math classes to bridge the gap with my special needs students. As reluctant as my students are to learn math concepts and procedures, with the use of Google Classroom, Google Form and Google Doc students have been more engaged and responsive to this learning approach. Although the Dervin reading was quite dense and challenging to connect with, it also made me think about students’ reactions to math lessons above their cognitive abilities. This reading has giving me a new perspective on the importance of creating and thinking about the end user first and foremost, Baggio, on the other hand, was relatable and placed a high emphasis on creating lessons geared for the Visual Learners. I still have many questions about the end project or Capstone. How much data are we supposed to be collecting in our classrooms? If I was not completely satisfied with last semester’s data results, what can I do at this point? Anyways, I hope all of my questions will be answered by next semester.

I also found Baggio to be the most relatable. I'm glad I'm not the only one that still has many questions about the Capstone. I'm looking forward to it, but at the same time I am also unsure about what data I should be collecting from my students.
