Using+Technology+to+Support+all+Learners


 * How can technology be used to address the needs of learners with special needs?**

Technology can also help students with special needs. For example, if a student has trouble reading, they can listen to a digital storybook which could help them learn to read. Students can also create their own storybook online and then practice reading it themselves. Technology provides many different ways for special needs students to express themselves and to learn more. Technology can be used in the classroom in order to make sure students with special needs can learn exactly what the rest of the class is learning. There are many forms of assistive technology that can be used in the classroom in order to help students learn.


 *  Give an example and explain how it would support students with special/diverse needs in your future classroom?**

An example of assistive technology that could be used in the classroom is using technology that will read what is on the screen for blind students. Since blind students are not able to read articles online, there is a program that reads text on the screen in a computer-generated voice. This supports special needs in the classroom because it makes sure that everyone has an equal chance to learn and no one is left out. If there was not technology to help students with disabilities, they would fall behind in school and would not learn to the best of their ability.
