When viewing Larry Ferlazzo blog for educators I found his web 2.0 tools for teachers to be different. I never really examined the various tools, or resources we can use as future educators, to assist our students in the classroom environment. Larry highlighted tools that would be beneficial in the classroom, but one in particular was Webklipper. I feel that Webklipper can work for students with and without disabilities. Whether or not the students with a disability is in a general education or inclusive classroom it can be used the same way. Webklipper caught my eye the most because it can support students with disabilities by allowing them to highlight, and create notes on what there reading. Students with disabilities encounter many problems with reading and Webklipper gives them room to create notes to hep memorize or understand what they just read. Being able to highlight and write at the same time helps children develop strong writing and reading strategies they will need to be successful in the classroom. Teachers can also used this as a guide for the whole class so, no child feels out of place.
Watching the "Did You Know" video was amazing. It depicts how society have been consumed so much by technology, that we forget how to do things the old fashion way. One point that was made which connected to Larry Ferlazzo blog post was over the years as technology became more advance it took less years for it to be market to the world. This relates to Larry Ferlazzo whole blog post because as various technologies are being invented his list of Web 2.0 tools change and become more advanced. As a future teacher Larry blog along with the video helped me understand technology can be used to teach or assist with anything in the school setting.
This seems like an interesting tool. I wasn't sure how to interact with your webklipper example. I think I'll take some more time to explore it!
