Let's Talk Tech

I love my computer and I do not take the time to think about the different ways that it can be more than just a computer. For someone who cannot see or is unable to type a paper on their own, a computer is so much more than a tool to browse the Internet but a means to reach the world. The software available is amazing, that fact that no one has to be left out of the world of advancing technology is wonderful.

My major is Special Education the Window Eyes would be the idea teaching tool for my blind students and Magic for my students who have partial site. Via voice also allows hand free typing ofr students not able to use standard typing method. Most lesson, games and tutoring material can be uploaded on these programs and make learning fun. No person with a disability wants to be treated like an outcast and this software not only includes them but also gives freedom to not be afraid of working on the computer. I am so glad that I have help to make my classroom a learning paradise for all students.

Is It Okay To Be A Technologically Illiterate Teacher?

No,No,No, there is no way to be an effective teacher and not be technologically savvy. I do not think that is the only way to reach a student, but it is a big part of reaching today's student. We do not live in a pencil and paper only society, students are doing and learning things online less positive than they should be exposed to and it is up to us to teach them ways to take a computer and further their education. I do not know of any teacher that has not advanced with the times and accepted computers as a positive way to instruct and reinforce what they are teaching. Every job requires technological skills and if we are grooming the futures work force environment we have to give the every chance we to be competitive in the workforce. School is the foundation for good success and the success includes computer knowledge on every level.
