Reflection #7
Technolgy in the classroom is also beneficial for students who are legally blind. After doing some reading, I started thinking of ways technology could assist students of this special need. Beyond glasses, the classroom could focus of the use of braille. There are braille keyboards and printers to help integrate technolgy in the classroom. Also, the use of voice recording would be helpful. This would allow teachers/students to be more discriptive and is a way students could complete assignments as well.

When I used a legally blind example in Instructional Design class, Professor Garrett was talking about how expensive it was to print in braille, and that not a lot of kids even learn it anymore. I was surprised by that fact.
ReplyDeleteHow would you use audio recording or help that student in PE? Would the acoustics of a gym make it even harder for that student?
