Session 5: Adaptive Technology

Once again, this session did not cover much new ground for me, as I've recently taken a course on Special Education and how to make necessary adaptations for students with special needs. However, it is always good to re-visit this important part of education, and I did discover some new technologies in the process.

I particularly liked the websites from the "Adaptive Technology Activity" this week, as I found them to be incredibly useful in terms of what technologies are available for teachers to help special needs students. It seems like there are SO MANY options, and it's nice to have this information all in one place! I did not know about the Big Keys keyboards, and will be sure to keep this idea in my back pocket as I enter my career as an educator. Also, I will make sure to bookmark these websites for future use, as they contain a lot of incredibly useful information in terms of what is available for helping all students achieve at their highest potential.
