Question, Thoughts and suggestion for Content Presentation

Wow! I was amazed that some of you went above and beyond. All those software presented was awesome and its interesting enough to think if we are able to use it. We can only dream so much to have all kinds of technology or software to be incorporated onto our daily lesson planning. BUT! Guam Public School System did not have a budget for new technology, therefore, we inherited technology computer in particular from DODEA which is 10 to 15 years old. To top it off, GPSS program/set up these computers before it was distributed to all public school system so that you're limited to what you can do? In short, it is blocked.

Here's the questions:

1) How or in what way you can utilized the software that was presented onto your classroom teaching and learning if you have limited access?

2) Are you willing to spend your hard earned money to acquire one? I/we have spend our money then and now to get what we need to teach prepared lesson more often than not.

Content Presentation #2

Hi Everyone,
Here's the Content Presentation #2 that was presented last night' class. I hope you learned and enjoyed the topic presented. Copy and paste the URL for viewing.

http://www.authorstream.com/Presentation/lgrigley-176843-orthopedic-impairment-presentation1-entertainment-ppt-powerpoint/

Here’s my question:
If you are new incoming teacher and you have a student with an Orthopedic Impairment with McCune-Albright Syndrome. (How would you welcome this student into your classroom with the other students?)

There was a question Dr. Cyrus asked about the McCune- Albright Syndrome. I had searched it and accounted. Please check it out and provide me with your opinion and/or suggestion.

Definition of McCune-Albright syndrome

McCune-Albright syndrome: A genetic disorder of bones, skin pigmentation and hormonal problems with premature sexual development. Also called Albright syndrome or polyostotic fibrous dysplasia. In the syndrome, there is bone disease with fractures and deformity of the legs, arms and skull; pigment patches of the skin; and endocrine (hormonal) disease with early puberty (early menstrual bleeding, development of breasts and pubic hair) and an increased rate of growth. The McCune-Albright syndrome is usually caused by mosaicism for a mutation in a gene called GNAS1 (Guanine Nucleotide binding protein, Alpha Stimulating activity polypeptide 1).

The syndrome shows a broad spectrum of severity. Sometimes, children are diagnosed in early infancy with obvious bone disease and markedly increased endocrine secretions from several glands. At the opposite end of the spectrum, many children are entirely healthy, and have little or no outward evidence of bone or endocrine involvement. They may enter puberty close to the normal age, and have no unusual skin pigment at all.

Check out the URL I have pasted here to see the actual image of how this disease affect an individual.
