//Choose someone who will record the team's answers on the corresponding wiki page to your table number.// 1. Does the six hour handicap ring true with students or other children you have known?** //Our group is in agreement that a great deal of our students could be considered as "six-hour handicapped" or situaltionally handicapped, easy likenesses were drawn with the two students from the video.// //yes, because we reduce the extent to which we allow our students to utilize their "comfort tools" to facilitate the acqusition of new skills, and also do to the fact that we base progress on standardized testing when we should be focusing on individualized scoring// //There could possibly be a difference in the resources that are available to financially challenged districts, also, students who learn, understand and apply skills differently don't always have the opportunity to select their means of learning a particular skill or objective// //Technological Literacy// //can be described as the intellectual processes, abilities and dispositions needed for students to understand the link between technology, themselves and society in general. Technological Literacy is concerned with developing students' awareness of how technology is related to the broader social system, and how technological systems cannot be fully separated from the political, cultural and economic frameworks which shape them.// //I would imagine that it would be more important today to be digitally literate due to the fact that technology is constantly changing and there is a challenge among our society to stay with the everchanging role of understanding how to use/apply technology// //It would provide them with a variety of different alternatives for learning new skill applications in a new form, it something that is breaking the mold from the typical traditional setting and opening the eyes of certain students to new learning processes.// //Currently, I think that digital skills and literacy could tie into the content or specialty areas - at this point I do not feel the leap into embracing this technology has taken place yet//
