    This site would be useful for my students when I get my own classroom of students with special needs because it gives you many examples of different kinds and examples of technologies and tools that you can consider using.  Another reason it will be useful because for all of the softwares, it gives you reviews, which will help save time so you can just read them, instead of using the softwares and finding out their weaknesses.  Technologies is a huge way that students with special needs can get the most out of the learning in their classroom.
