Reflection blog

At the beginning of course I did not have a lot of exposure to assistive technology and to students who made need it. Through out the course our exploration of different types of AT has broadened my understanding of AT and how it can be used in the classroom. I can now see how all students can benefit from it and how those who need it especially will suffer without it. The myths around allowing students to use AT, especially on test, are just that myths and through the writing of the weekly blogs I have come to a better understanding of this. As educator we need to focus on breaking down this misunderstanding within our field because not all educator realize that the myths are myths. These myths also exist for any students who need any sort of assistance in the classroom and are far too prevalent.
