What Are Assistive Technologies?
These are technologies that allow students with impairments to try to learn just as well as their peers who do not have these impairments. After viewing Assistive Technologies for Vision & Hearing Impaired Children, I see why having certain technologies are so vital to the learning experience. While these technologies are available for students with certain disabilities, these technologies can also advance the learning of those students who do not have disabilities. Through this video I learned that these technologies:
- Enhance learning
- Remove barriers
- Push boundaries
- Give HOPE and challenge the way we think
It doesn't matter if the child has a disability or not because we're all learners and we all deserve the same treatment when it comes to education! These technologies are groundbreaking and truly captivating and I hope to be able to use some of them in my future classroom. We can make the world a better place for those students with disabilities because they, like everyone, deserve a world that they can be functional in!
Great post and I love the layout of your blog! I think every child should be provided with the technology to get the most out of their education. Your examples of some assistive technologies are great and easy to use in the classroom.
