Because of my interest in the Arts and Special Education, I feel this feed to be very relevant to my possible future Classroom. This feed specifically focuses on children with Autism and their ability to function in a classroom and several strategies to incorporate Sensory Integration Therapy. Making it clear that children with Autism focus mainly on one thing at a time, teaching strategies must be altered to work hand in hand with the children in order to succeed. These helpful hints can be useful in my future teaching and Classroom Strategies. This feed also has many different useful links for different disabilities.

I feel this feed is not only interesting but also fun to watch! I am currently enrolled in Ceramics and feel lost because I have no real past experience with the materials. Actually being able to watch someone do what you are trying to do is extremely helpful to me. I am a very visual, hands on learner and appreciate any visual aides. This video could be helpful in my future classroom by even just showing it to my students! Fun videos are great for students who have no idea what they may be getting in to. Also, this video is educational for me, who will be the instructor in the future. I think videos are just a great learning source. Then of course, we move to hands on!
