My Students

Have you ever seen the spinning wheel of color on an old Macintosh computer? My students experience that everyday with the old computers that I have in my classroom..

My students are high functioning students with different learning disabilities.

We have a very inclusive program here on campus and my students are expected to perform to the best of their abilities. Students with learning disabilities can strongly benefit from improved assistive technology in the classroom.

My Project

This project will change my students lives because technology has become such an important instructional tool. It makes it very frustrating when my computers do not work properly and most assistive technology programs are not supported on each computer. This will also help the students gain more knowledge about programs that are available to them.

This will ultimately help my students because one of my main goals is to make my students as least dependent on others as possible.

I want my students to be able to do as much as they can on their own to the best of their abilities. With everything being technology based these days, this will help train them how to be computer savvy.
