DHH Reflection
Guest Speaker: Audrey Flowers
1.What information did you find helpful from her presentation? Please be specific.
There was a lot of helpful information from our guest speaker during class. Audrey Flowers spoke about DHH students and gave information about them. I did not know about the different levels of hearing loss and what they might sound like to the people who have it. Hearing it in the video was very helpful to start to understand the different levels of hearing. Additionally, learning about how to place students was very helpful. In class Ms. Flowers spoke about how sometimes front and center may not be the best for every student. As teachers we must know our students and what is around them, inside and outside the classroom, that may be a distraction or interfere with their learning.
2. Did any concept taught today surprise you or challenge a preconceived notion?
One concept that was taught today that surprised me was about reading lips. I have heard about it before, but I did not realize how hard it really is to do so. When watching the video and the sound would go out, I could not read anything from the mouths that were talking. I did not think about how hard it could be to read lips due to facial hard, mumbling, and even accents. 3. Do you have any further questions or concerns in regard to the lesson?
I do not have any further questions or concerns regarding the lesson that I can think of at this moment.
