Okay, so it was a bit challenging to be focused on class today, what with the awesome weather outside the windows, my daughter's 15th birthday, and the annual Teachers Union Council (where my husband successfully ran for the position of Vice President of the NSTU). I was thankful it was only a shorter class. Sandy and I worked together on a Kurzweil package for a student at her school. Sandy brought the knowledge of what the student needs, while I had some ideas about how to use kurzweil to help meet the student's needs. It was a good combination, I think.
We both commented on how much time it took to create the bit that we did. Of course, things always take longer when you're learning... no doubt our speed will improve. But it's definitely a worthwhile assignment to have us create a working package for a target student using Kurzweil. It forces us to just jump in and get our feet wet!
