This website explains the effectiveness of “collaborative learning” and why it’s the most popular method of teaching in the 21st century. This website is extremely beneficial for all teachers because we want to teach in innovative ways that meet the 21st century standards. I’m a special education teacher and many learning disabled children can benefit from collaborative learning. This article explains how studies show that collaborative learning brings about less competitive behavior and more cooperation. Students who work in teams can learn from each other and therefore, find answers to problems collaboratively and confidently. Overall, collaborative learning encourages a wider acceptance of students with special needs and since the population of children with learning disabilities has increased, this teaching technique is an important one to implement within the classroom.
This website provides an abundance of information on ADD and ADHD for both children and adults. This website is very beneficial for me because it is going to give me a lot of important information needed for my AR project. One article I found to be very intriguing was on how to treat ADHD with computer games to help with their attention and concentration. The system is called “Play Attention” and involves the child playing a fun, educational computer game while wearing a helmet. The helmet picks up brain activity in the form of EEG waves related to attention. As long as the child concentrates they control the game, but as soon as their attention waivers the game stops.
