Assistive Technology Internet Modules

Today I visited another website on what we have been talking about for the past few weeks, assistive technology. ( http://www.atinternetmodules.org/mod_list.php ) This website is free and easy to navigate through. First I will tell give you a summary of the videos ( which are not hours long, it should be minutes). The videos are about the AT assessment process in the school environment.

The videos below are the introduction videos for each section of the module. After each video is all the information you need to know about the topic including a pre and post evaluation you can take to test your knowledge on the subject. The first video below is about the assistive technology assessment process in the school environment. The second states that there is a consideration process that the IEP team needs to go through to find the appropriate assistive technology device for a student. The third video talks about automatic speech recognition and how it has improved over the years. They even say that if you have failed with automatic speech recognition, you should give it another try.

I have taken the pre and post evaluations for each of these areas and I was surprised with how well I did. My scores on the pre evaluations were 6/7, 7/7 and 7/7. I looked over all of the information given after each quiz and then answered the post evaluations. I liked how it tells you why each answer is correct or incorrect. 

This website had a lot of great information on each area. It really broke everything down for me and and gave plenty of student examples to go with each.

  1. Bridgette, Your summary of the website and why should a teacher should visit it is right on point - I also like how the evaluation told you not just the correct answer but what made an answer correct or incorrect.
