Like many other school systems across the state and country, our district invests heavily in technology to support teaching and learning. We have the added responsibility to ensure that all students, regardless of ability or disability, can benefit from this technology in ways that are meaningful.
This school year, rareApps will take a deeper look at literacy and technology in specialized settings. Rather than report solely on the features of different apps and technology, our focus will be on examining the five components of reading instruction and investigating technology tools that can leverage research based strategies for instruction as well as support/provide accessibility features so that all students can take advantage of every type of lesson.
