Essential Question: How can I enhance the learning and instruction of students with special needs in my classroom with technology?
There are three notable challenges in my classroom that point to my driving question. The first, is the lack of affordable and the availability of differentiated instructional materials that encompasses research best-practices, which address the learning and instructional needs of the students. Next, is the accessibility to curriculum that aligns with the States Common Core Standards and supports Specialized Academic Instruction. Lastly, is the essential need of utilizing 21-century skills and embedding technology to increase student engagement and promote life-long learners that can problem solve, think critically and demonstrate digital citizenship. What will you “Need to Know” to answer that question? I will need to know about various technology, learning platforms and differentiated instruction materials and curriculum that meet the individual learning needs of students. What do you already know (from your own experience and from reading about)? I already know of a few online learning platforms that are specific to students with special needs (i.e., MobyMax, News2You, etc.). Additionally, I know that the teachers need to individualize and personalize the learning opportunities for students and that technology has a tremendous value to support both instruction and learning. Additionally, I know that students are learning differently in different situations, environments and that they have different learning styles and learn from a variety of modalities.
