AN EDUCATORS JOURNEY
Meghan Blackburn, MEd
Instructional Assistive Technology Facilitator
Lexington One School District, Lexington, SC
Reflecting on the past few weeks of the course I have gained valuable information on creating an inclusive
learning environment. Understanding specific needs of diverse learners and the tools and technology to
enable them to be independent learners has been transforming for me as an educator.
The tools and resources gained throughout the course has provided me with the knowledge to incorporate
what I have learned into delivering and learning of information. Now that I have the tools necessary, I will
begin implementation first in the home with my children with the use of their tablets. My initial plan
includes downloading relevant applications to increase their reading skills in the areas of comprehension,
articulation, and general read along practice.
The resources shared from the instructor and my peers have been valuable.
Although I’ve been multitasking with being a mom, wife, working in Real Estate while seeking full
employment opportunities, this had been a great course!!
