TASK 4: MAKE SURE TECHNOLOGY IS ACCESSIBLE FOR ALL STUDENTS

  • For bilingual students, check into software or Internet sites that offer instruction in both languages.
  • Both PCs and Macs have system software that will change the key layout on keyboards or the titles of icons into several languages for students with limited English proficiency.
  • Make sure classroom computers are fully accessible to students who have physical disabilities. Take into account lighting, spacing, and additional workspace for assistive technology.
  • Many classroom computers are used for both remediation and enrichment. Make available software or Web sites that can be used with minimal supervision.
