Chapter 5 Focus Questions
Key Questions teachers must be mindful of when considering the use of Educational Applications.
The next portion of my blog will focus on AT & Mathematics.
We have learned throughout this course that implementing AT involves lots of research and testing to see whether the AT is suitable for out students. That has more to do with the hardware, in other words, the actual device itself. This next topic involves the applications on these devices. They too must be subject to questioning and testing for effectiveness.
In our text, Assistive Technology In The Classroom, Dell, Newton and Petroff assert that the following questions must be put forth.
1. What is the intended outcome of the use of the educational application?
2. Is the educational application likely to fulfill its stated purpose?
3. Can the educational applications be used as an alternative to traditional classroom activities to enhance students' participation?
