"What technology do you need?"
This was the question posed this week during one of our meetings. This question was aimed towards teachers and their classrooms. As teachers, we can teach with whatever we have available. This is one of our trademark skills, but with self-reflection, one cannot wonder if we are asking the wrong question. Shouldn't we be asking "What technology do the students need?"
We are living in the 21st century and our students need opportunities to build their 21st century technology skills. How do we advocate for technology and show the importance it plays in supporting and teaching individuals with disabilities?
What are some things you are doing in your classrooms and in your districts to advocate for technology? What technology are you providing individuals with special needs to be successful in the classroom and develop their 21st century skills?
