Assistive
technology is any kind of technology that can be modified for someone with any
type of disability. It is important as a future teacher to know how to make use
of any kind of assistive technology for future students. For this assignment,
we have to create a Power Point with information about our findings in changing
all of the assistive technology settings on our individual computers. I think
this assignment itself is not that great, but I do feel like it is very important
to know the things that we are exploring. My favorite option is the on screen
keyboard. I think that is really neat and helpful for people who do not have
full use of their hands. For my personal preference, I like having the option
to change the contrast and brightness of the screen. If the screen is too
bright, it will often give me a terrible headache. For someone with vision
problems, there are a variety of things that could be done to the screen so
that they can see it better. I think that as a future educator, it is my responsibility
to make sure that, no matter if someone has a disability or not, all students are
learning and receiving the information in a way that suits each and every
student.
Assistive technology allows all
students to use computers and other types of technology. I believe that
assistive technology falls under the NETS-T standard #2. With assistive technology,
the teachers are able to customize and personalize activities to accommodate all
students.
