"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go."-Dr. Seuss

Module 5 Reflection
Students with
disabilities can be supported by technology in many ways. Discuss how students
with disabilities who need help with certain subjects can be supported by
educational technology. Select a subject and provide a specific example of how
you could support diverse learners in your classroom with technology.
With recent technology advancements, there are many ways in which technology can support and benefit students with disabilities. Math is a subject in which many students struggle with today. Ipads and interactive boards are two ways in which you can support the diverse learners in your classroom. Ipads have many apps avaliable that can assist students with learning. Ipads can make learning fun and interesting because I think students do not realize how much they learn when they are using technology or playing games. Interactive whiteboards can be directly incorporated with your lessons; having games, word problems, or even just the students revealing the answers to the problems. Almost any technology resource can increase the students independence and up their participation in a classroom.

I really like how versatile and portable Ipads are. The only problem is that they are expensive! Teachers might not be able to afford them without support from the school system. Hopefully though they will get cheaper as they become more common.
ReplyDeleteI agree- iPads and Interactive Boards are both EXCELLENT ways to reach the diverse learners in your classroom!
