Über dieses Buch
The updated edition of this playful yet professional book guides educators in selecting, acquiring and implementing technology to help all students, but particularly those with disabilities. School districts often struggle to develop consistent practices for meeting the needs of special education students. In the updated edition of this bestselling book, you'll learn how embracing student-centered approaches like project-based learning and growth mindset help support students with disabilities. You'll get guidance on how to plan and execute education experiences using technology centered around students' individual needs. And you'll discover how to effectively and consistently evaluate and select technology supports based on the specific needs of an individual student, while actively including the learner in the technology consideration process.Building on lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic, this edition also explores ways to support students, especially learners with disabilities, through distance learning, and how adopting personalized learning principles can help facilitate a smooth transition to distance learning.This revised edition:
- Includes new content on the necessity and long-term benefits of making educational materials accessible.
- Offers guidance on expanding practices that are already inclusive, such as increasing the flexibility of learning spaces and establishing gaming and maker clubs.
- Explains how to conduct and document assessments to help an educational team make informed decisions about technology needs.
- Assists individuals or teams in creating an action plan for developing a culture of inclusion.
- Interweaves stories, songs and other features to make learning fun!
