While completing the Assistive Technology assignment, I learned how to use computer options to help students with disabilities. I learned how to take a screen shot, how to magnify the web page, how to use Sticky Keys, and also how to change the color of the screen for students with a visual disability.

Teachers can use these features to accommodate their students with disabilities. The screen magnifier can be used for students with visual disabilities. The teacher can change the color of the computer screen so that a student with visual disabilities can see it better.

According to the standards, teachers should be modeling experiences witgh the use of contemporary tools. The standards state that teachers design and develop digital age learning experiences and assessments. Teachers design, develop, and evaluate authentic learning experiences and assessments incorporating contemporary tools and resources to maximize content learning in context and to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes identified in the Standards.
