Lesson learned 11/11/15

What I am taking away from today's lesson is the importance and universal use of assistive technology. Professor Chen made statement she said, "We are all disabled in some way or another." That really stuck out to me because It is so true. When I think of assistive technology I think of electronics and fancy expensive gadgets. There are so many other things people use everyday without even realizing it is assistive technology. People wear glasses, use pencil holders, even certain strategies. These are all assistive technologies to some degree. As well as people use and need assistive technologies far beyond learning in the classroom. People need them to live their everyday lives such as wheelchairs and walkers. This is something an educator really needs to keep in mind with every student because that one strategy or device can mean a world of change for a student.
