UDL Reflection

=Assistive Technology Assignment:=
 * 1)  I learned that there is a wide range of assistance for disabled students that allow teachers to best help and guide those who just years ago would’ve been alienated by their lack of abilities.
 * 2)  What impressed me is how many companies are making their technologies as user friendly as possible to people with disabilities. Apple inc is a prime example of companies adapting their products.
 * 3)  It lets students be less dependent on human aid and lets them work problems and do their own work.
 * 4)  I have not interacted with anyone who needed assistant technology but I am learning more and more about the subject with this class and my special education class.
 * 5)  I will know that there is always going to be new technology out there for disabled students and that it’s important for me to look for new options as I encounter students with different disabilities.

Whaling! The Whaling industry was indeed an important part of the late 19th century American economy. Particularly, as shown, in New England. The Whaling industry had a hand in most aspect of life in New Bedford. And the accounts shown seem to parallel naval vessels at the time. What I wondered was what home life was like for all those not on the ships. The tour showed life on the ships very well but only touches on home life. These sailors were gone for years at a time, no contact with home. What did merchants do when whaling ships didn’t come back in time. It seemed like there wasn’t a schedule for when ships would leave and return. They’d return when the ship was full; how long would that take? Especially as the whale population started to decrease. Another thing that would have been interesting to read about would have been the aftermath of the whaling industry. What did all those who worked in the market do when the switch to petroleum oil occurred? What did New Bedford do, did they start fishing more? I can’t help but think their was a lot more internal issues with the whaling industry along with the challenge of being on a whaling ship.
