In my classroom, the students have access to three laptops and four desktops. They also use an interactive whiteboard everyday. Our school has IPAD minis that can be checked out and used as needed. My third grade class has started learning how to use Word documents and the Paint penograms in class. They have learned some of the basics such as: creating a folder on the desktop, saving documents and images to a folder, and opening and editing new and existing documents. They have really enjoyed this integration of technology. They have caught on fast. We will continue using the computer in order to meet the various learning styles of the students. It is also important skills that will benefit them as they continue their educational journey.
All special education teachers have computers in their classrooms. Technical assistance with computers and software is available to all special education teachers and related service personnel. The provision of this service assists special education personnel and related service providers in planning for students, teaching students and assessing students more effectively via the computer.
