Reflection on Webinar with Mr. Ben Shifrin

It was so pleasing to have Mr. Ben Shifrin on 01.04. He talked about dyslexia, which was mentioned in the programme and executive functions (Executive function is a set of mental skills that include working memory, flexible thinking, and self-control. We use these skills every day to learn, work, and manage daily life. The trouble with executive function can make it hard to focus, follow directions, and handle emotions, among other things.), which was new to me. 

It was a bit difficult for me to understand everything because of the lack of background knowledge. However, it provided me with some new concepts which enabled me to broaden my knowledge span. It also helped me enhance the knowledge I have already known. 

In a nutshell, it was very motivating. I am looking forward to having the special needs education course now.

What is more, different authentic materials have various purposes for students to learn. For example, real life pictures and instructions from different context are worth using because these materials are likely to be read for specific information and they are feasible to reach.
