2201 Double Journal Entry #7

Technology can support students with learning differences. I found several ways to incorporate technology into instruction like handheld organizers, audio books, and computer programs that converts spoken language into written text. Another device I found was noise reducing headsets. I think these would be great for students who are distracted by noise. A tool that many of us use that could help students with learning differences is spell check. By using this students could do more independent work and it would help them reach their potential.

I found this great website to help struggling students. There's a whole range of ideas from graphic organizers to online manipulatives. This looks to be a great resource for teachers.
