Below is your technology assignment for this course, as well as more step by step directions that follow.

**__Assignment__** ==[[#Welcome to our TEP 547-548 Class Wiki!-IV. Technology Integration Assignment Overview: Learn about the dynamics of assessing and planning curriculum for students with special needs. Use a search engine such as the APU library database or Google Scholar(TK) to research the variety of special needs populations (PK), then find and read a peer reviewed, scholarly source article on a particular special needs population (PK). From the perspective of a general education instructor identify some common diagnostic and assessment strategies you might use with this special needs population (CK). After thorough, targeted research, become an expert contributor to the class and share your findings on the class wiki (CK). 1. Register into the public class wiki on WikiSpaces, and share your article as a link on a separate page in wiki spaces (TK) (These pages will be based on your content area and will have been created already. They will be found along the left hand side of the main Wiki page for the course). 2. Based on what you have learned, identify some common diagnostic and assessment strategies you might use with this special needs population. You will then contribute to the wiki on the page that corresponds to your content (CK). For example, one of the navigation links on the left could be //science// and another //language arts//. 3.Write a two-part reflection answering the following: • //Content Knowledge Question//: Describe what you learned about diagnostic and assessment strategies that fit your target population. (Write a minimum of 50 words for this question.) (CK) • //Pedagogical Knowledge Question: Describe in what way/s assessment data would determine how you planned your curriculum and lessons for the specific special needs population? (Write a minimum of 50 words for this question.) (PK) Need Help? (Step 1 help)]][[#Welcome to our TEP 547-548 Class Wiki!-IV.

(Step 1 help) == =Linking to Articles in APU's Online Databases= Downloading full text scholarly articles from APU's online libraries and uploading them into Wikispaces infringes on the copyrights of the authors and publishers. To reference the articles in a way that respects copyright, read the following directions:
 * Here are some screen shots to help you when linking your article in one of the extra content specific pages at the left. **

Once you find an article to reference (video for help on finding articles), review the screen shots below to see how to copy the permalink. If you use another academic article database such as Google Scholar, you will need to figure out where to get the Permalink on your own.

 * Help with Step 3 **

Finally, Respond to the following questions. Describe what you learned about diagnostic and assessment strategies that fit your target population. (Write a minimum of 50 words for this question.) (CK) Describe in what way/s assessment data would determine how you planned your curriculum and lessons for the specific special needs population? (Write a minimum of 50 words for this question.)
