Managing and Integrating Tech in the SPED Classroom (K-12)/Flex Course

 

Do you have computers in your special education classroom that are not being used to their full potential? This course will focus on the management and integration issues teachers are struggling with such as: scheduling students for computer time, how to train students to use software, writing lessons that integrate technology, managing a technological classroom, finding excellent software and websites, and getting the most out of the one-computer classroom. This course will focus on using technology in the special education classroom, specifically addressing assistive technology.
