- What are three items you found in your reading/research that could be considered AT? Describe how these devices support a student in your (future) classroom. If you've seen AT supports in action personally, include your personal knowledge or observations.
- Why is it necessary to consider AT supports for students with disabilities?
- What is your role (your future teacher role) in implementing AT tools for your students?
- Do a search on Twitter for #assistivetech or #assistivetechnology and reTweet at least one post that aligns with what you're learning about assistive technology (don't forget to add #edu219 so we can all benefit!)
When researching I found that the talk to text what is in
assistive technology as well as editor on your computer. I personally use both
these almost every day due to the fact that I'm writing papers and blogs every
day I think that these would be very good for students to use in the future
especially for students that have a hard time typing as well as being able to
review their paper without asking somebody else. the final thing that I saw
that was assistive technology was glasses that you could take a pen and scan
and it would enlighten the text onto the glasses so that people with visual
impairments can see. I think it's necessary to consider assistive technology
supports for students with disabilities because it will allow them to be able
to reach the same level as production just with adaptation. I would say that my
role as a teacher in implementing assistive technology to my students would be
that work smarter not harder so whatever technology that my students can't use
to improve their well being as a student or a person in general go for it.
