Assistive Technology Internet Modules

AT Internet Modules is an excellent and free website for anyone that is interested in learning about Assistive Technology. Like I said in my other blogs, I was not quite sure going into this class what I would be learning. This website helped me answer many questions that I had and teach me things that I did not know. Below is the first of three modules that I needed to read, learn and complete on the website.  

AT ASSESSMENT PROCESS IN THE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT

Lets start off by explaining what Assistive Technology is. AT is any tool that can help a student with disabilities. It allows the student to be able to do things more quickly, easily and independently. This module was very important and useful for me as a teacher.

I teach a very young class that is extremely diverse. The module explained guiding ways to help students use AT. I think is very important to help meet the needs of every student, whether it be a strength or weakness. I felt as a teacher that this module was very positive and full of information. I gained a lot from this module and can see myself using different strategies in my own classroom setting.
