Edu-250, Information Literacy

Hello, everyone! I enjoyed the article on teaching our students to understand individuals with learning disabilities. I liked the fact that they gave us so many resources that are available however, I tried to go to the Smithsonian Virtual Museum. I think perhaps they were experiencing some technical difficulties because the audio portion of the Museum was not functioning. I really enjoyed the assignment last week and thought that the PBS site was very helpful in increasing understanding of the obstacles that students with disabilities must overcome on a daily basis. With that in mind, I would like to share with you an article that talks about the possibility of learning disabilities developing in children due to lead in toys and other sources. This article was in the September 2007 issue of Time:

It was very enlightening. See you Tuesday!
