Every piece of assistive technology, whether referring to a device,
application, and resource, serves a different purpose. There is not a universal
AT that serves and benefits to all learners. As previously discussed in earlier
blog posts, when choosing an educational application or device, it is critical
to observe the individual and his or her strengths, weaknesses, and needs.
Three key questions that should be considered when selecting education
applications should include:
1.
What is the intended outcome when utilizing an
educational application?
2.
Is the
application able to fulfill the desired purpose?
3.
Does the application enhance the student’s performance
more than the traditional classroom activities?
Hey Liz,
ReplyDeleteI agree that it is critical to observe the individual student's weakness and strengths and needs in order to pair them to an educational application or device. Your key questions help with this endeavor. Thanks for a great post!
