Assistive Technologies Reflection

This project opened my eyes to all the different resources available to teachers who have students with various disabilities. It was also an exploration of Google Docs for me, as I had never used it before. I'm glad I can maintain access to this document for future use. I know I'll probably forget about it, but when I really need it, I'll be glad it's there.

It's great to have started this list of assistive technologies available to me as a teacher. I can also add to the document if I stumble upon or am told about any other resources that could "level the playing field" for students with disabilities. Most of the resources I have listed are those already available to students who have either mac os or windows.

I don't think I found as many resources as I could have, however. I definitely need to add to my list if I want to have a really successful list of resources. I also think it could be a bit more organized, but as I said before, I can always add to and modify this list.

This project shows my knowledge of the problems facing students with cognitive, physical, hearing, and visual disabilities and the technology available to help them succeed in the classroom and beyond. It shows my ability to use technology to my advantage to help my students and myself in making my class a comfortable place to learn for everyone.
