Assistive Technology in the classroom.

Describe the ALL tools and types of technologies introduced in the videos and explain how they changed the lives of the individuals that use them.

In watching these videos, the viewer is able to participate in the lives of several students with mental and physical disabilities. Due to these handicaps, many students in America's education system today cannot access technology to allow them to learn. In these videos, through their schools and organizations, these students were given specially equipped laptops and computers to not only aid them in learning, but allow them to thrive in learning.

These technology aids include voice recognition software to help those students with physical disabilities that cant type or write. This software allows students to navigate through computer screens, as well as type papers orally. This example is a fantastic leap for those students that are mentally capable to succeed in the classroom but lack the physical abilities to do so.

Another example of AT technology in the classroom is the use of technology engineering for those interested in music. Through the use of mechanized cells that push horn keys up and down for a disabled student, allowed him to play as well as those with full functioning limbs and digits. Modern day engineering and technology help disabled students flourish through motorized wheelchairs, laptops, cell phones etc... The classroom of the future will allow ADA students to succeed through these tools that can cater individually to their personal disabilities and allow them to succeed and advance in their educational goals.
