Statistics
What do you know about statistics? Have you ever taken a stats course, and if so, did you do okay in it? If not, you should still answer this last part. I'm going to have a list of statistical terms, symbols, or letters, and I want you to identify which ones, if any, that you know what they mean:
I have never had a statistics course but i will be taking one this summer. The only word that sticks out to me is the following below
correlation - being able to establish a relationship

"My Progress So Far with My Paper"
So far with my paper i have completed my annotated bibliography and have also been working on my outline for my paper. I started my outline after i found 3 sources and have been modifying it as i read more of my sources. I am excited to start my paper because i feel that Co-teaching is a very important aspect of teaching especially with all the inclusive classrooms in today's schools. I am now at that point where i just need to start to write the paper though. Starting is the hardest part for me, but i feel that once i have a paragraph or two, my outline will easily write the rest of the paper.
The only trouble that i ran into with my paper is that i switched topics. I am currently taking SPED 210 and was required to observe inclusive/special education classrooms this semester for a total of 20 hours. Only having a little prior knowledge of what co-teaching was before going into the classroom, it was easy for me to identify what was not working properly. The issues that i faced was that, i desired to know how to correct the situation. By utilizing this assignment properly, it has allowed me to expand my knowledge about proper co-teaching techniques and most importantly, ways to establish a cohesive co-teaching relationship with your co-teacher.
I still find clean burning diesel technology very interesting, but i feel that the benefits of understanding what co-teaching is and how to use it effectively in the classroom can benefit me the rest of my teaching career.

This article written by Laura Levine and her fellow colleagues discusses the impact of Electronic media on today's students work and study habits. It provides several statistics to establish a average usage and also discusses the variety of learning styles of today's students. This article was interesting and should cause teacher to reflect on their teaching style to see if they are reaching their students or if they could benefit from differentiating their teaching style. Students minds need to be stimulated in a variety of ways to ensure comprehension of the material.
