I love how you zoned in on health and safety in the school setting and geared your resources towards teachers! These resources will be very beneficial for special education teachers! The "How Safe is Your Classroom?" video is wonderful, that is an excellent resource for teachers, and it helps point out hazards that might not have been considered or evaluated! This is a wonderful resource as well because it is visual. Your other resources are helpful and provide a wealth of beneficial information! Great Job!
ReplyDeleteI also loved how you zoned in on health and safety in the classroom, particularly because this is an issue we will be addressing as future teachers. I really like your first link, particularly because I am a visual learner, and actually listening and seeing a video really helps to get the point across. I think all three resources are wonderful resources for future teachers. Individually, I think this would be a great resource for me to refer back to, as a teacher, while setting up the classroom for a new school year. I think it is important to remember health and safety when designing, and setting up, a classroom for your students.
ReplyDeleteThis is such an important topic for us as we begin to think of our (not so distant) future classrooms. All three of these sites have valuable information for teachers to become experts on safety in their own school. The first site, teachers.tv, is awesome. The video was fun to watch, and called my attention to things I may not have considered as safety hazards. As we begin to teach students with disabilities, we will have to be extra aware of safety conditions. This site is perfect for teachers to use as a resource for health and safety concerns and awareness. Teachers can use it to become educated on safety and keep a organized and safe environment for the students.
