Horejsi, Martin. "Making Technology Inclusive." Science & Children. November/December 2003: 20-24
The author goes into detail and explains the different assistive technology categories. The categories are: Input devices, output devices, and software. After giving a little description about each of the categories in their separate paragraphs, the author gives examples of each. For example, trackball, micromouse, and touchscreens are different types of input devices. This article does a great job at showing future teachers ways to integrate these new technologies into their classroom to provide an equal learning experience for all students. Students deserve the same opportunities as the others, so this was a great way to get this information out to future teachers and educators.
I was able to learn many things from this article. Wouldn't you as a student want different technologies at your disposal to ensure you are learning to your strength? Being aware of different and new technologies that are going to level the playing field is a great thing for teachers to be exposed to. I hope that everyone can take a lesson out of this article and always be searching for new technologies that will help students learn better.
