Describe issues related to training special education teachers to use technology.
Time and money would have to be the biggest issues related to special ed. Teachers using technology. Special Eduaction teachers are required to do a lot of paper work and individualized planning, and while technology may make things easier for the student, and teacher, it may take more planning on the teachers part. Finding time to train is difficult for a lot of teachers regardless of their specialization, but for a special education teacher it would be more difficult I would think because of all of the other trainings that they must attend. Money would be another factor. When a teacher goes to training it is usually during the school day and a substitute teacher must be payed for. On top of the sub funds, the training may need to be paid for by the school depending on the type of training that they are being sent to.
Give examples of no-tech, low-tech, and high-tech solutions for special students.
No tech solutions could be to have a peer help a student to read things to them. A low tech solutions could be to enlarge print. A high tech solution could be using a reader program that reads a highlighted section of text out loud.
