Taking The Time

Implementing technology into our lesson can be somewhat difficult but if we take the time to explore the technology world we can overcome this difficulties. Not only is it difficulty to implement technology in the classroom for normal students but in can be hair pulling, mind crushing and somewhat confusing to implement technology for students with special needs.

Making the modification for students with special needs is not really that difficult if you if you follow these steps. 1) Find out what is the child’s disability, whether it is a Learning Disability, ADHD, Autism, or MR (Mentally Retarded or Mentally Challenge). These are just a few disabilities a child may have. 2) Do research on the child’s disabilities so that you can be familiar with what the child can and cannot do. 3) Explore of look for different types of technology that can help assist the child’s needs. 4) Choose or create a lesson that both regular students and children with a disabilities can accomplish. 5) Look for resources that can make it simple for the students to accomplish the goals. By following these steps you can make a lesson a lot more simple for both your special needs students and your regular students.
