=Using Technology to Support All Learners=

Technology is often used in schools to allow students to learn. Devices such as calculators and computers are used in every classroom and promote learning in an advanced way. There are many children that require special needs while learning in the classroom. Children requiring special needs often have trouble participating in the classroom as students without a learning disability. Devices have been created to allow a child with special needs to learn and communicate both at school and at home. Some of these devices include alternate keyboards, and augmented communication devices. Personal augmented alternative communication devices are becoming more known in classrooms. These devices allow students, who have a difficulty communicating, to use buttons on a computer-like device in order to converse with others. After these buttons are pushed, the device then produces verbally what the child wanted to say. This is a very useful device found in classrooms today that help make communication easier.
