Seedlings Show 115

After listening to the podcast about Assistive Technology, I was inspired to do more research on the book that the guest, Chris Bugai, wrote called The Fun and Practical Guide to Assistive Technology in Public Schools. Although I was unable to purchase and read the book at this time, I was able to find a lot of interesting information in the book reviews. Assistive Technology, first of all, is the providing of tools and strategies to students with special needs that aid in their learning. In some of the reviews, the writers spoke about the strategies listed in the book for considering AT for all students. Peggy in the Seedlings Show also touched on this topic by saying that AT should be trying to reach all learners and not just for special needs learners. My humble opinion is in line with Peggy's sentiments. I believe that there are so many benefits that technology presents to students that the application of such tools and strategies, therefore, should be applied to all kinds of students with all kinds of varied learning styles.
