This Google Slides is a presentation for a class. I talk about West Chicago District 33 and what the district looks like. I suggest one way that the Special Needs program can get involved with surrounding districts and encourage the students to engage in a fun physical activity to teach teamwork. I suggest that the districts could create an event where the students learn how to play soccer and work as a team. Finally, I mention how Special Olympics has impacted my brother, who has autism, and people with special needs all around the world! The district event would not be sponsored by Special Olympics IL, but I mention it as a great organization to inform families about.  

Here is a  presentation I made on how to use Edpuzzle. When I made this presentation, I knew very little about Edpuzzle, so I was interested in learning how it is used. Edpuzzle is most commonly used to create videos or select a video from the provided library and add questions to chosen time stamps in the video.  I like that Edpuzzle allows you to assign the new video/assignment to Google classroom, making it easier for the students to access. Once the students watch and answer the added questions, the results are saved and can be reviewed on the teacher's account. Edpuzzle is a great tool, and I would recommend it for any kind of video assignment. 

I created this presentation with my classmate, Jeffrey, on how to work well with paraprofessionals. We list a few things to keep in mind when talking to your paraprofessional. The paraprofessional is in the room to help you and support the students, they should not be mistreated or overlooked. It is important to communicate daily with the paraprofessional and work together to support the students!
