I have a struggling teenager in grade 10 who has been diagnosed as ADHD since grade 1 and now has also been diagnosed as having no working memory. She doesn’t appear to be getting the support she needs at school i.e. her English Teacher has never heard of Kurzweil.
I so hear you! I have to have my computer and my Blackberry at all times. Anything that I do not put on these two deveiss usually gets lost in the heaps of paper I have everywhere. I do not have enough hours in my day to write notes and then transfer them on to my computer later so that I will be able to save the files. I also type significantly faster than I write so I actually get more complete information down to refer to later when I’m typing.Its the old practice what you preach. No word of a lie I once went to a technology workshop and the presenter was using an overhead projector for her notes! For me, your post speaks loudly to what I personally see as the key piece to “Universal Design for Learning”. We need to look at all learners and help them discover (or allow them ot discover as the case may be sometimes) the technologies that work for them personally. It seems acceptable to use gadgets to make life easier/more efficient/safer…etc. everywhere but in our learning. There are so many that still seem to think these gadgets are distractions rather than learning tools.
