The TCEA (Texas Computer Education Association) is dedicated to the improvement of teaching and learning through the use of computers and technology. Nice mission statement I can say. The awesome thing about TCEA was the iPad Apps and Resources for Teachers, where I found an amazing list with iPad Apps for children with special needs. At the List of Free iPad Apps for children with Special Needs: Part 1 you will find 40 Free iPad Apps for students with Special Needs.

While Western learning styles have not changed significantly since the turn of the twenty first century, the increased use of technological tools have.

Is this new media and curricula developed to support all styles of learning, from the Visual to the Kinesthetic? Are we developing curricula for Adult learners, transitioning from the industries which were more task oriented, based on the assembly line, to one's which require a more intuitive and technological input.
