[nobe-l] teaching techniques questions

[Craig Cooper]

Greetings,
My name is Craig Cooper.  I am a member of the NFB of Oregon, and am
enrolled in a Master of Arts in Teaching program.  After volunteering
in public school classrooms for a couple of weeks, I have a few
questions.
1.  Students usually begin class by writing answers to a "warm up,"
which they write by hand.  I do not see well enough to read these
assignments.  Please share your ideas for evaluating and grading such
papers.
2.  Next year, I will begin student teaching.  Given the fast pace of
changing technology, and the challenges of keeping up with accessing
new software, what do you believe are the most important tools,
devices, and/or technologies to learn, to teach sighted kids, in a
middle or high school classroom?
I am excited about the opportunity to teach, but I want to be able to
anser the principal's questions, as to how I will perform various
tasks.
Thank you so much for any and all ideas.
Sincerely,
Craig Cooper
