Research in what ways technology is utilized for special education students. Formulate your answer and include links that show from where your information came.
Technology is used daily in special education classrooms in the majority of schools. These students are able to learn successfully through these assistive techniques. Students with certain types of disabilities have certain types of technologies that teachers use in their classrooms. These types of things take learning to the next level for students.
Students with mild cognitive disabilities in Reading, Writing, and Math use interactive storybooks and software with text-to-speech capability, word prediction software, and graphing software. These types of things have been proven to help them have a better learning experience.

For the students that have sensory disabilities like blindness or vision problems, there are converters for text-to-braille, screen readers, and magnification control panels to help them. If a student is hearing impaired there are amplification devices available for teacher's to use.
There are other things like iPads, iPhones, tablets, and computers that different apps can be downloaded onto to depending on what the student needs. These apps have been specialized to target certain disabilities for students. Teachers are able to use these for teaching in the classroom.
With the use of technology growing in our schools, the greater amount of students it is affecting. This has opened doors for many students, and given them opportunities that they never had in the past. Many do not embrace the use of technology, rather they hold on to what is familiar for them. People need to see the use of these things as helpful and seize onto them.

Good job. You have your alt and title modifier switched on the picture, though, so please fix this.
ReplyDeleteHey Jessica,
ReplyDeleteThis is a good post. You gave a good, brief summary on each of the tools, which I liked. I did notice at the end of paragraph 3 that you used the possessive form of "teacher", which doesn't make sense. "Teachers" would be the correct form. iPads, iphones, tablets and computers are all extremely useful for students who have disabilities so I am glad you included that. The first sentence of paragraph 4 is a little awkward so I would look at that and correct it. This is a really good post overall.
Great job and keep up the good work!
