Using Technology in Special Education

An open door of opportunities that special education students have for learning. Administrative leaders and educators need to understand that all this technological equipment is available for different hindrance these children can have. Please be conscious that these children are in need of these technology tools. Lets not forget that people learn everyday of their life until they die. Spectacular workshop! The speaker explains every aspect of the community and home page. Lots of tools and resources were discussed for the teachers to use in their classes. Indeed this workshop really gives the teacher lots of tools to integrate technology in the classroom. For me this workshop was Awesome! The Director of the school really does an excellent job in collaboration with the teachers. You can observe that there is really a teamwork that functions in that public school. Now they have a really wonderful school environment that leads them to success in some subject areas. The experience was great!
