<p>Hi! I am a Middle School English teacher at a private school for special needs students. My school is very diverse and accepts students of a wide range of abilities. It is imperative that I used technology in the classroom to accommodate all abilities. For example, I have one student who has limited manual dexterity so she uses her iPad to complete nearly all classroom assignments. This is great because otherwise an adult would have to scribe all of her answers. I love seeing the increased…</p>

I am currently taking a Assistive Technology Class on learning how to incorporate AT into the classroom. I would love to hear about your experiences with AT in your lessons and how it benefits your students! Do you have a favorite piece of technology for the classroom?

<p>Hello all,</p>
<p>I'm a 7th grade teacher in a small suburb in Kansas. I teach 2 classes that include special education students and see several of the same kids two other times in the day. I think its important that they have time in the regular classroom to learn with and from their peers. I have really enjoyed having my sped students in class over the last 4 years and I feel that the small amount of extra work I've put in to meet their needs has made me a better teacher.

<p>My name is Tricia and I am a Special Education major at Illinois State University, specializing in learning and behavior disorders. My question is, what have you, as educators, experienced that has impacted your relationship with technology?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I believe that as teachers, we need to be explicit in how we say things and how we communicate with others, so how has technology impacted your communication? Good? Bad? Any stories? Advice?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thank you!</p>

Hi my name is Liza, and I too am an inclusion teacher with a heart for technology in the classroom. My co-teacher and I have Smartboard Tech in our classroom. I am presently trying to work with podcast. I would love to hook the kids up to a cast I found on improving the memory (20 min , 3 times per week) .<br />

As a teacher with a severe case of ADD, I really appreciate the whole notion of engagement! The Smartboard is an awesome tool. To be honest, I even hand my students my cell phone when they ask me how to spell a word. It's a touch screen, so you know they remember the word! Hello!

Hello! I teach 11th and 12th grade special need students at a career tech high school. I teach Transitions- which includes life/employability skills. I am trying to find new ways to include technology, not only to enhance the learning experience, but to prepare my kids for life after high school. (i.e....filling out job applications online, utilizing computer apps in the workplace and any other area of technology that will help in their adult world).

Hello! I teach 11th and 12th grade special need students at a career tech high school. I teach Transitions- which includes life/employability skills. I am trying to find new ways to include technology, not only to enhance the learning experience, but to prepare my kids for life after high school. (i.e....filling out job applications online, utilizing computer apps in the workplace and any other area of technology that will help in their adult world). This year I began using a wikispace with the kids and have them adding to it/responding to discussions and posting assignments. I hope to have them each create their own page next year to use as a portfolio when they graduate, including photos and work samples as well as copies of their resumes and any certificates earned. My school has created a technology committee, and I am so excited to be a part of it. We are exploring many technology ideas and trying out things that we can utilize in the classroom. Welcome A.

Welcome Emil. Wonderful to e-meet you. What types of technology do you have access to at your school? How are you using the technologies you have to support your learners? I will look for some resources for you, but you should definitely befriend Katharina. <a href="http://www.classroom20.com/profile/Katharina">http://www.classroom20.com/profile/Katharina</a> Her research in autism has mostly focused on computerized assessment and therapy with low-functioning children.
