The Effectiveness of Using Technology to Teach and Assess Performance in Mathematics among Students with Special Education Needs

Abstract

 Students with disabilities face numerous problems in their learning experiences. For instance, learning Mathematics remains a core subject but a challenge to most of these students. However, technology integration in learning continues to become a major factor considered by curriculum developers. Factors such as proper integration of technology in learning continue to be of great importance in such decisions. Additionally, cooperation among stakeholders including parents, teachers, and administrators is vital on how to effectively utilize technology in helping teach and assess performance in mathematics. Thus, while technology has been found to be effective in helping enhance curriculum development, there is still room to help remove barriers that hinder its optimization.
