Electronic Contact Assignment

I contacted a teacher in Georgia her name is Jessica Zeback. Mrs. Zeback believes in using technology in her classroom. While teaching elementary special needs children, she tells me of the many different ways that computers and other devices can help these students. Different types of educational games such as the Leap pad and V tech equipment are in her classroom ranging in help from numbers, to the alphabet, shapes, colors, then reading, and sentence work. Everyone has seen these things on tv and in the stores, I think they are really neat, and believe that they can help these children to. While in the class, if a student is behind or needing assistance in a certain area, these technological tools are used to keep other students occupied so the teacher can solely devote that small amount of time to insuring that the student needing help understands what is going on. There are also a number of things on the computer that help students in the class. There are web sites with games, videos and powerpoints that assist the children in many different areas. Mrs. Zeback has not used ACCESS labs or Smart boards, but these are avaliable to the school.
