This session is about classroom management approaches for students who use assistive technology in general education environments. It will will offer ideas that educators can use to help ensure the effective use of assistive technology in general education environments.
Myth discussed: 1, 2, 3, 5, 8.
Presenter: Gayl Bowser, Lead Assistive Technology Trainer
In this session you will learn that knowledge about technology use in classrooms cannot be treated as context-free. Good teaching requires an understanding of how technology relates to the pedagogy and content presented in classroom instruction. The TPACK framework is often used by researchers and scholars to address the many aspects of teaching with technology. For those getting started with integration of technology in instruction the description of TPACK can be a useful way to think about all aspects of assistive technology use in classrooms.
