WELCOME ESP, FEASIBILITY STUDY, and MARKETING MANAGEMENT STUDENTS - CKC


Welcome to Second Semester.

I look forward to an engaging semester of discussions, field works, researches, artistic outputs, blogging, emailing, and consultations. This might look a lot but everything is doable.  You're welcome to see me if you need help.

WELCOME MSE 545 STUDENTS - TEACHING CHILDREN WITH SEVERE AND MULTIPLE IMPAIRMENT - M.U.S.T.

Welcome to the class. This will be a semester studying teaching strategies and related topics for children with severe and multiple impairment. There'll be case studies, researches, discussions, blogging, and, the new little addition to the skill, the making of an online Personal Learning Environment (PLE).

I believe in your ability to learn.  So keep the spirit high and the interest always.

MARION

Marion is a tutorial system intended to address the Reading and Mathematics skills of school children from preschool to elementary  and, soon enough, high school levels. Right now, the setting of the physical environment and instructional materials are shaping up in a "laboratory classroom" which eventually will be the teacher training center.

I'm looking at the possibility of making this my dissertation study in 2014 - enough time to draw conclusion by then.

I commissioned my ten-year-old girl to do the design for Marion and she came up with the logo below in an hour. I paid her a "hefty" amount of money for a ten-year-old to show how she can make money out of her talent.

FSUU - SPED 504 LAST DAY - 10/8/2011

To study psychology of exceptional children is way too taxing for the brain if direct instruction is used. So I used Miniversity Strategy with chunking and graphic organizer techniques to which the students were given  free hand on how they present their topics creatively according to their understanding. Mix that with hilarious metaphors and break down of complex theories & research findings to a language familiar to them, then the task becomes easier and most of all.... FUN. That's all for now, class. See you next semester...

I will then be with you in your work place to assist you in actual practice of classroom observation and assessment of special needs. There'll be lots of reading yet..... lots of learning as well.

So, let's explore the minds and behaviors of exceptional children......
