While the word "technology" automatically conjures up images of cutting-edge electronics, some assistive technology is possible with just simple accommodations. Whether high-tech or simple in design, assistive technology has the ability to transform the learning experiences for the children who benefit.

  • Instant knowledge has changed how everyone learns because the questions we need to have answered are just a few clicks away.
  • When the micro computer came into vogue in schools, doomsday prophets predicted the demise of the public school teacher. Now we have so much more technology in schools and student's pockets, and we still have teachers. What then, will be the role of the teacher when each student can look up every answer on their wrist phone, or with their eyeglasses? The teacher's role will be to motivate; the teacher can provide the answer to the question, "Why do I need to know this?"
  • How do you create learning environments that motivate students to learn?

  • Technology fluency transcends devices, apps and programs. It implies that a student can quickly, accurately and deliberately communicate, collaborate and create across platforms. In Thomas Friedman's book The World is Flat, he made it abundantly clear that we are currently preparing students for jobs that do not yet exist. If we think about it, they will also need to employ technology that has not yet been created. By supporting the development of students' technology fluency, we are preparing them to become digital learners who are able to construct new tools and objects, communicate ideas and solve new problems.
