Using+Technology+to+Support+All-Learners

Technology can be used to support all-learners by helping to access different parts of the curriculum. Teachers can post blogs, podcasts, powerpoints on wikis, and other things so their students can access material outside of the classroom. For students with special needs, it is important to have different technologies that can assist the student. Different technologies can assist with hearing, speech, seeing, and learning disorders. One technology that could be used for a child with special needs is the Augmented Alternative Communication device. This device can be programed by a teacher, parent, sibling, or the child using it. They can program different symbols to mean specific words or phrases that a child who does not speak can push and the device can talk for them. This is a good technology because the child or whoever is programming the device can keep programming the device with the new words or phrases the child is using.
