Assistive technolgoy would be really helpful, such as speech to text

Pros and Cons

I think the prevalence of technology can make teachers better able to accommodate behavioural exceptionalities but could also make others worse.

This will allow students to focus on the sections of the lessons at their own pace

It might help

I think that technology will help to manage student accommodations. Behavioural exceptionalities might b harder to notice due to tech though.

some students might go on their phone more and get distracted

Students are now more used to immediate feedback, and ability to "skip content" quickly as well

I believe that the integration of digital devices and technology will assist in the implementation of the accommodations or instructional strategies.

Technology in the classroom

I think technology allows for a larger variety of accommodations for students with exceptionalities.

Allows students to stay organized and keep all tasks in one place, instead of being responsible for physical copies of resources and assignments

I think technology can both benefit or hinder. They can certainly benefit as student have access to programs and tools to help with their writing. It might also hinder if it becomes a distractions.

Technology for the most part has been extremely resourceful in classrooms though it also posses as a huge distraction for certain students... so having designated tech time I think is more beneficial

Technology provides customized learning experiences and tools that make education more accessible for students with different needs.

Each device can be programmed to their IEP

Potential for good

Technology has a lot of potential for accommodation and differentiation but students need to learn how to use it responsibly

2024-05-14 17:35:45 UTC

It may be more difficult to implement if the student does not know how to work the technology properly to assist them

2024-05-14 17:35:46 UTC

Many of my students w/ adhd would struggle on not jumping onto a game when they had tech

Students can go off topic if technology is used to often
