Welcome to my Blog!


Welcome to my Blog!  My name is Julie, and I am a graduate student in the Post-Baccalaureate Education Program at Cabrini College.  I am studying to receive my Teacher Certifications in Grades PreK -4 and Special Education. I am also working towards completing my Masters of Education. I am excited to do my student teaching this fall.   As a part of my coursework, I am currently taking a class called Assistive Technology.  I invite you to follow my blog, as it will document my learning of course material! I was fortunate enough to have used Assistive Technology myself, to help with vision disabilities. I used computer software called Kurzweil that read my books to me, as I followed along. I am very interested in learning how I can effectively use different types of technology to help even the playing field for my students with learning differences. Enjoy!

  1. I love how you set up your blog visually. It is really appealing! Then reading about your own visual disability made me more impressed as this required a lot of effort from you.
    Having a son with a disability has given me new appreciation for how hard individuals with disabilities have to work. I applaud and encourage you to seek your dreams in education. It's a wonderful career.

  2. I think it is great you are pursuing and furthering your education. Because you have background knowledge in assistive technology, I feel like this course will only help you gain more knowledge. As a student who has learned assistive technology, you understand how necessary it is. I think it is great you are ready to learn more in order to help students with learning disabilities.

  3. I find it fascinating that you are able to make a connection between this class and assistive technology in your own life. I wish you luck in the future!
