I think this could be helpful in the classroom.

It mentioned that assistive technology can't "cure" the students disability, but it can help the student around the challenges they face regarding their disability.

This video really simplifies this complex concept and puts it into pretty plain words so that anyone could really understand what AT is.

This consultant talks about negative things that a lot of people say about AT and why they actually aren't true. I think this is good information to have when talking about AT to those who may not be informed.

Even though we have learned that assistive technology does not always include technology, but here are seven either cheap or free apps that could be used effectively. Let me know what you all think about them.

I didn't really think about independence being a factor in assistive technology but really, the use of a device, to talk or improve movement helps these students gain their independence.

What are your thoughts?? How do we find a balance so that students benefit from computer- or iPad-based AT without losing crucial emotional and social interaction opportunities? (Amanda)

I liked the section on anchored instruction because students can demonstrate knowledge they need to solve the math problems in a real-life situation. (Kelsie)

I feel the element of assistive technology for students with visual impairment struck me the most. There are apps that have gesture-based commands and screen and video magnifiers. What area of this article stuck out to you and why? (Rowdy)
