I thought the video was really good. It was a creative idea that Andrea came up with this semester to have interview videos rather than a video from youtube or just a powerpoint. The two links on Andrea's and Raquel's powerpoint were great, very informative. Their overall powerpoint helped me understand inclusion more and I liked that it was brief, yet they were able to get their points across. I am still not fully sure as to where I stand when it comes to inclusion. On one of the websites, it had a poll where it asked whether a child with a disability should be kept in a normal classroom, should be kept in a special classroom, or should spend the day half and half. I had to answer with spending the day in both classrooms becuase I feel as if it is important for the child to have a normal experience in a mainstream classroom, but I also feel as if the student can not get the full education they need when a teacher is working with the entire class and not just with that one individual. Although this is all just my opinion, when I filled out the poll, having the child spend half the day in the classroom and the other half in a classroom for their specific needs ended up being the number one choice.
-I hope everyone's holiday is filled with lots of fun, happiness, laughter, and love! Get lots of rest becuase a month from now we will be starting up with all the work and homework again! :) This class was a pleasure and I hope to see you all around campus!
