Technology to Help Struggling Students
Silver-Pacuilla, Heidi; Fleischman, Steve
Educational Leadership, v63 n5 p84-85 Feb 2006
Many technology features that were originally developed to help people with specific sensory impairments are now widely in use. Research is beginning to show the benefits of giving all students access to these capabilities. As such, educators should not hesitate to integrate technology features into instruction for students who struggle with academic tasks. These approaches can support learning by building literacy and language skills and independence. In this article, the author discusses how technologies such as text-to-speech, speech recognition, graphic organizers, and e-resources can be integrated into sound pedagogy to help struggling learners achieve both academic and technological success.
