Eric,

These are great strategies for Special Education students, too. I like the idea of labeling items for reinforcement and reference. My students with learning disabilities could benefit from such a simple modification. I can have the kids make the labels after choosing what classroom items they'd like to identify.
What I'm hoping you'll do is a podcast on this. I'm an auditory learner. Maybe do it in Farsi… :)

Casey,

Thanks for stopping in and checking things out. I think you're absolutely right about these strategies being applicable to special education students.

Doing a podcast devoted to these strategies is a good idea. I don't think I could limit it to the 10 minute constraints of CastBlaster's demo version, though. Looks like it might be about time to make the purchase or do a multiple podcasts.

However, I did read about another 'Cast producer (this one is free!)at the Download Squad, called Pod Producer. Hmmm, sounds like something to check out...

Thanks again for checking out the blog!
