Tech World has Arrived

It's been a while since my last posting but it has been a busy year.  My technology plan has finally come to fruition.   My proposal brought forth the opportunity for technology to a benefit my campus and our students.  We received monetary donations, which allowed us to purchase three SMART boards for our academic classes.  My school is a private institution for young child to adults diagnosed with Autism spectrum disorder.  As for the rest of the technology program we purchased ELMOS and Mobi view.
Since the SMART board arrived in the classrooms, our students since to be more engaged in their lessons and there are less behavioral issues according to their teachers.  One of the teachers was a little apprehensive about using the SMART boards, so she attended several trainings to help her get over the fear of not being capable working with this new technology.  She has admitted that having this tool in her class has changed her approach to teaching her students.  The SMART boards are interactive therefore it allows her students to be an active participant rather than a passive one.  It's wonderful to see how engaged our students are with this new technology.

Technology is an excellent tool for all students.
