I learned from the assistive technology assignment
that students with disabilities were also provided a way to use technology that
would increase, maintain, or improve functional capabilities of individuals
with disabilities. I learn that there are many way that students who have
hearing, visually, and who are mobility impaired could be adapted while using a
computer. For example, you could change the display to a high contrast extra
large scheme, magnifier, toggle keys, alert flashes, and so on.
I
did not encounter any problems while navigating through this activity. It was
fairly easy as well as interesting while completing it. The instructor provided
well written instructions to follow in order to complete the assignment.
I
could integrate this knowledge if I were to have a student who had some type of
disability. I would be well aware of some options that I could perform to
accommodate my student(s). For example, I could display an on screen keyboard
to assist a student who has a physical impairment and uses a pointer to access
the computer.
Promote
and model digital citizenship and responsibility would be the NETS-T standard
that would best fit this assignment. This standard addresses the diverse needs
of all learners by using a learner centered strategy and providing equitable
access to appropriate digital tools and resources. This assignment allows
student with disabilities to also have a opportunity to participate and use
digital tools as well to learn. This opportunity will allow the students to interact
socially with their peers and not feel left out of the activity.
