Connecting and Engaging

Wired for in-touch learning

Tech set up for student choices in a click through application is a straight forward thing. To bring the child to the technology and help them make contact with their learning is the vital step. You can have a conversation about a story and propose choices but as an edutecher teacher in the High Support environemnt, you will need to make contact with that child and help them make the links of cause and effect. Without this you are adding to the diverse phenomena happening in the childs immediate environment but maybe not making new learning accessible for them. The trials and experiments are incremental, it's a classroom lab. Special educators are 'breakers-down-into-steps', considered and quality steps. Before and beyond this moment of connection, the value of the learning you are setting up access for is vital. Small but vital, engaging, motivating steps are a specific goal of the edutech special educator.
