My eLearning unit has definitely taught me a great deal. As I went through the process of developing a unit of study for my students, I found myself considering what would
flow well for my students and be beneficial for their entire lives. So often, in special education, we are asked, "When are we ever going to use this?" I wanted to be able to show and teach my students about something they would be able to use their entire lives. When I considered this, I decided to make a unit from my health curriculum that I taught. As I was going through the entire unit, I enjoyed the process in which it took me through. I felt a great sense of ownership once I was complete. The process really made me take a step back and internally debate if I have everything I need to provide my students the best opportunity for this unit. I enjoyed that because it really made me focus on thinking about my students. It made me focus on the parts I needed to include, to make sure my students were going to receive the best possible chance to demonstrate their talents in my classroom. These decisions I was forced to face through the process really helped me focus on the overall picture of my unit, while completing each step meticulously. The learning I have gained through creating this artifact will forever stick with me, and will forever help me through the process of creating units, and making sure I am including everything that my students require to be successful in my class.
