Technology and Teaching Special Ed

Teaching in itself is a Herculean task in this day and age when students’ focus and attention are more difficult to hold. This situation is more challenging for special education teachers because more often than not special ed students have attention problems, not to mention cognitive difficulties.

For me, one of the major breakthroughs in education is incorporating technology in classroom instruction. Public schools that were admitted in STEP program are very lucky because of the many opportunities that can be utilized for better-quality instruction. We are lucky as special education teachers because we would be able to deliver more interesting and effective classroom instruction with the use of the equipment given to us and the training we have received. There is simply an awesome array of possibilities that we, in special ed, can do.
