Students will critically discuss the use of emerging technologies to support and improve teaching and learning of diverse students in the inclusive setting. Students will research and discuss the use of evidence-based instructional and assistive technology tools that have been proven effective for improving student academic, social, and behavioral outcomes in the general educatin classroom. Students will critically discuss various types of low-tech and high-tech assistive technology used to support students of determination in achieving Individualized Education Plan (IEP) goals. Students will also engage in critiquing instructional and assistive technology tools that are commonly used with students of determination. Students will use a problem solving approach to create a plan for developing a technology-rich classroom environment that supports a diverse group of students, including those of determination.
