This document summarizes a course on using technology to support learning. The course objectives are to develop strategies and tools for using technology in special needs and mainstream classrooms. Students will examine attitudes towards and procedures for technology use, and assess, evaluate, and implement assistive technology strategies. The course will involve practice-based and interactive workshops. Students will form groups and discuss how they currently use technology to support students, create IEPs, and how the course can help them as allied educators. The document also discusses using various methods like words, pictures, music and plays to assess diverse learners and how technology can help students with issues like reading difficulties, language problems, social interactions, dual exceptionalities, and authority problems.
