Module 3 Assignment Major Research Presentation (Group or Individual Presentation)
This assignment should be linked
with your personal goal(s) for this course. Collaboration with colleagues will be even
more critical in the new millennium as we are challenged to remain current in education.
Here’s your chance to link with peers who share your interests in this course, choose
a topic, research and present an overview of it. Decide individually or among yourselves
how you will organize your content. Through your contributions or those of the 4 or 5 of
you, the rest of us will complete this course with a much broader and richer background in
the field of learning disabilities. Be creative. Topics should be developed from the
strands covered in section 3 of our textbook and listed below:
Strand H-
Placements and Services for students with LD
(a topic from this strand)
Behavioural Treatment Interventions
Meta-cognitive Approaches to teaching students with LD
Strand I -
Vocational and College Opportunities for
youth and adults with LD
Issues in the field including teacher
preparation/ PD
Strand J-
Technology and students with LD in elementary,
secondary, post-secondary environments
Please email your instructor regarding your area of interest so that you or your group can get working on your presentation outlines A.S.A.P. Once groups are set, I’ll post groupings and then it is your responsibility to decide (through private on-line discussions or email) the focus (topic) of your presentation, what and how you will present your content. Module 3 assignment due dates are found in Caucus.
Criterion: (50 marks) overall impression, practical applications of information, resources for peers to access for additional information. Please take advantage of the internet and use hot links in your presentations, if and when applicable. Be clear and concise.
