Why Use Technology?
 Technology can support learning outcomes
 Technology is a teaching decision
 Technological literacy involves both computer/software
skills AND integration experience
 Technology may create unique conditions for learning
 Technology provides the prompt to re-think one’s
approach to teaching

Curriculum Integration Skills
How have you used media/technology in teaching?
National technology standards are based on the idea that the
focus of technology is not technology integration but
curriculum integration using technology.

Technology for Special Needs
 Assistive Technology (AT)
Range of low-tech/high-tech tools to help students
Access technology: gain access to existing materials
Adaptive technology: sensory tools to help students
communicate, move, control
Schools required to provide AT at no cost to students with
disabilities
See http://www.abledata.com/

Technology for Special Needs
 Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
 Designing the school curriculum for access by all humans.
 Continuum of learner differences
 All students need assistance and adjustments
 Variety of curriculum materials to accommodate range of
students
See www.cast.org
See Rose & Meyers (2002). Teaching every student in the digital age:
Universal design for learning.
