The students receiving special education services struggle with learning in a variety of ways. Some have challenges with word recognition, memory, processing, however, partnering technology with education can level the playing field for most of our students. In today's world, where journalists, businessmen, lawyers, and even authors utilize speech-to-text software for transcribing, bringing our students up to speed with the technologies available to bring their ideas and thoughts to the paper makes sense. Finding ways to incorporate this technology in the classroom in order to strengthen their analogue skills, like sight word identification, decoding, and academic language, will be effortless. This technology will help our students with the most severe challenges. Students on the Autistic Spectrum, students with dyslexia, and scholars who require Tier 3 interventions due to hardships will be able to speak their ideas into the microphone and see their very complex thoughts rolling around their minds come to a physical reality on the page. I know this technology will open the eyes of the students as to the power of their voice and words. Students who struggle with writing will be able to connect words with their voice and speaking and develop a new relationship with writing. When they see their spoken words transformed into written words, they can make connections to sounds and letters they might not have made without the technology bringing their spoken voice to the page. The students will use this technology to answer discussion questions, do quick writes, outline essays, write essays, and practice sentence writing.
