Special education classrooms have students at all different academic levels. When selecting AT we need to take these levels into consideration and make sure that what we choose the AT that works for the individual student. There are so many different options out there and what works for one student may not work for another.
When selecting educational application we need to keep a few things in mind.
- Does the application meet the goal and purpose for the student?
- Does the content match the student's needs?
- Is the educational application flexible?
- Can it be customized?
- Can the sound be turned off?
- Can levels be selected or modified?
- Can the pace or speed be changed?
- Does the application meet the student's interests?
In order to select an effective educational application we have to keep these questions in mind.
