Mrs. Rodriguez’s Classroom Edit display name

I work with students with special needs. My students have mild to moderate disabilities and many of them tend to get frustrated very easily with writing tasks. Giving them the option of typing their work often gives them more incentive to get it done. Use of the laptops is a good incentive for my students in other ways as well. For example, when they are distracted or having a hard time maintaining focus on what we are doing in class, giving them the option of earning time on the computer as a reward is great incentive to inspire them to get work done. Having laptops in our classroom will also give students the opportunity to conduct research on various topics when needed.
