JUSTIFICATION:
Advanced technology has increased the way we use technology to facilitate equitable access to technology resources and learning environments for students with diverse learning abilities today.
I have created an assistive technology website resource handout with a vast list of resources to help me support the diverse learning skills of the students. By downloading different tools that help develop students' higher-order skills and creativity, I’m able to create learner-centered strategies that address the diverse needs of a variety of students. This resource leads us to promoting the use of technology to assist those students who need an extra support in technology in the classroom setting.
In the technology plan critique of the Thomas Starr King Middle School, guidelines are mentioned out to bring more technology into the schools for both student and teacher use. There are some parts to proper use of the technology so that students can properly share the resources and make the most of their time with the equipment.
