I am assigned, this week, to give a blog assignment we should have been assigned and to do it myself.
Watch the video The Sound of Learning: Albano Berberi and, in your blog, post what you thought of the video and how technology has assisted Albano. Also consider any other methods of technology that could be useful for physically handicapped students, including deaf, mute, amputees, and any other handicap and feel free to look for similar posts and share.
I, personally, enjoyed the video. New technologies such as computer audio programs have assisted Albano with being able to participate in classroom assignments. Braille books and keyboards have also been helpful in Mr. Berberi's learning environment. Other handicaps, such as being hearing impaired, also have technical innovations to assist with learning. Ann-Marie New also speaks of the physically handicapped in her Blog Post # 12. She addresses hearing impaired students and the technology useful in the classroom for them.
Hey Katherine,
ReplyDeleteI think this is another great example of how technology is helping so many people. I am taking a class this semester, and we have been talking about different accommodations for those with low vision. Great pick!
