Chapter 6: Digital Technologies in the Classroom

I would prefer to teach in a classroom that has more digital technologies, rather than less. As an intervention specialist major, I think that technology is very beneficial to those with disabilities and can be a great asset to helping them learn. Many students with special needs learn by seeing things and being able to have hands on activities. I think that the best example of this that is found in the chapter is the use of touch screens. Children get to have more interactive expleriences, work at their own pace and develop their problem solving skills. Speakers and headphones are also useful assets. They can help those who learn better by hearing the lessons more slowly or listen to songs that can help them remember certian things like their times tables. Technology is a huge asset in classrooms, especially classes that have students with disabilities.
