Lit Review

Week 8!!!!!! WAHOO!!!! So I found the lit review to a little challenging from the get go but once I watched a few more tutorials and started it was easy. I think this was a great beginning step for me for future papers in my college career. I feel I learned more from this review then from the other assignments. Over all I would have to say I learned so much about special education and the use of the IEP. This information will be so useful to me as a student and as a professional even if I don't go into special ed I can use this information as a general educator.I hope you all learned something profound an significant about you subject of research. I really enjoyed this class and think its a class that all students at Brandman could learn something from. I wish all the best of luck in your future endeavors.

Hey everyone,

       Can you believe we are already in week 7, its crazy huh!!! Well anyways so I found my bid to be very simple due to most of my previous papers were relevant to my research question and were capable of being used. I also used a bunch of new ones that I really found to be of great assistance to my studies and to my research question. I will say for all of my papers I learned allot about IEP's, IFSP's, the purpose they serve and how we should implement them in my work as a special education teacher. I will most certainly continue to use my research as time goes on and I progress in my academic career. I will continue my research into the use, need and development of the IEP. I think its vital to my success as well as the success of my future students. I did enjoy using the CRAP method for all my papers, and found it beneficial to my decision on what articles and books to use for my research. Well I hope you all are having great success and will continue to have an outstanding year!!! Have a wonderful blessed week!!

Plagiarism...... shame shame.....

Well I have to be honest I didn't really learn much I didn't already know. Plagiarism is pretty much beat into us at a fairly early academic age. I have been hearing about it since like 4th grade, I will say however that I didn't really see using another persons idea as plagiarism but I guess now I will think twice. I will also say that I feel if we spend to much time always citing the work of others we will possibly loose our own insight of what we feel and know. If we keep reading the works of others we push our own individual thought to the back. I may be the only one who thinks this way but hey that's ok with me. Researching is something I love to do but I also like to keep my own ideas at the forefront of my mind. I am not saying keep a closed mind but to remember that not all research is solid proof. I also feel I try my hardest not to plagiarize or misuse the information I read for personal gain. I don't however feel its as severe of an offense as they make it seem, unless your a lazy bum and are just to ignorant to do your work yourself. Well I hope you all have a wonderful week and cant wait to see what everyone else post :)

Here you all go!!!!

Under researched....... Week 5

Throughout all of our papers I am finding that locating information on IEP’s to be very difficult. It still seems to be a very void area of research. We tend to just rely on the law of the educational process and that is it. I am disapointed by this and feel that if we stop trying to research things they cant be fixed. I knew from the get go that I chose a tough subject but never thought it would prove to be this disappointing. I feel like we are reverting back to ignoring those with special needs and we should be at the forefront of research and studies with this. I found researching this type of article to be a huge failure and was forced to locate another empirical article that had surpassed research and already been reviewed. With studies based on special education the information is time sensitive as the law of IDEA requires it to be released almost as quickly as it is received. I really wish I was able to provide exactly what we were looking for but I was still able to locate an amazing article that opened my eyes to problems that exist still today in the world of special education. I am posting the link in hopes that you future educators will read it an learn a thing or two about IEPs. I hope everyone had better luck then I did when researching. Have a wonderful safe and blessed week!!!
