Since we were considering it is great to use technologies in classroom. Maybe it is generally for common students, but I start to think about what benefits that special students could get by using technologies and tools for learning? Can students with disabilities use the same tech or tool that typical students use? I just curious; so I Googled trying to find some related stuff. I found a website that convey the information of how special students could be benefit from technological education. Accordingly, “children with learning disabilities often have better technology skills than their teachers and are drawn to computers and other gadgets, so using them in the classroom makes perfect sense. For children with physical disabilities, technology can give access to learning opportunities previously closed to them. E-readers help students turn book pages without applying dexterity, and voice adaptive software can help students answer questions without needing to write.” Fortunately, students with disabilities also involved in; they could get lots benefit form the use of tech and devices in classroom.
Another article examined a seventh grade student with physical disabilities. The student has used “a desktop version eye-gaze device, which allowed him to type papers, participate in art classes, conduct online research, communicate with his teacher and do well academically.” Students are pretty involved in group activities, class discussions, working with peers. Tech help special students engage in classroom. “Technologies not only help students better understand concepts and keep up with their peers, they also allow the school to better and more easily integrate special-needs students into general education classes.” I’m happy to find out that educational technology and tools are set for all students!
