TeachPaperless: IEP Recommendation: Mobile Access - 1 views

  • mobile tech is the single best vehicle for addressing the confidence and practical needs of many of our kids with learning differences
  • I don't mean to say that the tech itself is the 'difference', what I am trying to say is that the tech -- and especially the personalized and always-on facet of mobile tech -- will provide the connection to the tools, the teachers, and the interventions that will make the difference in a way both unique and also requiring a re-thinking in terms of how we offer relevant services to students with learning differences.
  • we need to explain to developers what we and our students need from them
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Even better, we should be calling for Ed Schools to provide instruction in app making and digital design so that we -- the teachers -- have the capacity to program our own teaching.
  • we need to push now for an end to the access issues facing all of our schools
  • Let's make districts come to the realization that mobile devices and mobile access are the point-of-entry for learning right now. Let's put state funded devices in the hands of kids who need them and let all kids bring their own INTELLECTUAL EMPOWERMENT DEVICES to class.
