This week in tech we had a guest speaker on zoom. Chantelle Morvay-Adams spoke to our class about technology, inclusion, and ableism.
Chantelle is the secretary of BCEdAccess, a volunteer-run organization for families of students with disabilities and complex learners. Although this organization is intended for families, I think it is important for teachers to understand and be informed on
For myself, the main ideas I took away were:
- Technology is not one size fits all
- Teachers should have an understanding of technology and how to make it accessible for students who need it.
Technology can support students with both their strengths and challenges, without it, the classroom can be a place of exclusion.
