3 Things Learned
1. While the other chapters of the book cover areas that are important to disability students and all students, the biggest problem for disability students is accessibility.
2. Providing alternative resources and assistive devices to students with special needs is possibly one of the best options and is what makes integration into special needs or disability students so encouraging.
3. Inclusion is the process of including special education students into the general education classroom in which case all future teachers need to be aware of the strategies for helping special education students with technology integration.
2 Connections
1. Knowing now about inclusion and how it came about I can now better prepare myself when I may come across a situation with special education students and my eventual need to integrate them not only with their fellow classmates but with technology as well.
2. Many of the programs listed in the writing skills and reading skills section may eventually be extremely important since I will be an English teacher. One in particular that I liked was Write: OutLoud which allows students to hear what they have written.
1 Question
What can I do to help students if I'm in a position where assistive technology devices are nonexistent and funding is lacking in that area?
