This week our group determined who was going to present what information in our presentation. There is a multitude of technology to assist students with disabilities in the classroom, and everyone is the group was fairly passionate about a few. We decided to focus on SMARTBoards, Text-to-Speech and Speech-to-Text software, as well as Computer Assisted Instruction. While doing research for my seminar inquiry, I came across Computer Assisted Instruction. My inquiry is on how teachers and schools can adapt classroom in order to better support students with ADHD. Computer Assisted Instruction is beneficial for students with ADHD because it is stimulating, gives immediate feedback, and can allow students to adjust what information they are recieving, and how they can recieve it. I am looking forward to going more indepth and finding out what other disabilities CAI targets, and the benefits and challenges that come along with it.
