This article was interesting because it focused on the Ag industry and how it is helpful to collaborate with others within the industry regarding careers and products that are used. It also focused on how time can be a element of negativity because finding the time to collaborate is often hard. Barriers to collaboration included lack of time to collaborate, the number of schools in a county, the size of the county compared to the location of schools, and negative personal views toward individuals (competition). The overall feeling from this article was that it is valuable and also important to collaborate with others.

This article was my favorite, it was about a young boy who was blind and always left aside in game and activities. He slowly lost interest in most things at school and in life until one day was asked to participate in gymnastics. He ended up becoming very good and participated in high school. This article is a excellent example of how inclusion works to build confidence and happiness.

ReplyDeleteI like your reviews, they are short and to the point. I like the article "Less Afraid to Have "Them" in My Classroom": Understanding Pre-Service General Educators' Perceptions about Inclusion. Seems like a good one.
