Assistive Technology Assignment!

This project showed me that there are several ways to assist students with disabilities. There are several different ways to alter computer settings in order to assist each person. To make changes, I went to the control panel and clicked " accessibility". I first adjusted the contrast on the computer screen to help students with visual impairments. The background was black with a bright text. Next, I went in and magnified the text to assist students who had visual impairments. This accommodate allows the students to be able to view the text larger. I learned how to turn on toggle keys and how to incorporate visual alternatives to sounds; all of these were adjusted through the control panel. At the end of the assignment, I found several neat sound and image websites to incorporate at the end of my power point.  This assignment showed me several different ways to accommodate all kinds of students. This assignments follows the NETS-T Standards: 3. Model Digital Age Work and Learning D) model and facilitate effective use of current and emerging digital tools to locate, analyze, evaluate, and use information resources to support resources and learning. By knowing how to locate and effectively make  use of computer setting adjustments, teachers are supporting learning styles of all kinds of students with disabilities.
