Module 1 was incredibly insightful. One of the standout aspects was the way it acknowledged and broke down the different levels of technology integration – low,medium and high tech. This categorisation made it much easier to understand how technology and be gradually introduced and adapted, depending on the context, resources and needs of students and teachers. It also reminded me that the effective use of technology doesn’t always mean having the most advanced tools, but instead the most appropriate tools.
Another key takeaway was the SETT framework; student, environment, tasks,tools. This is great for analysing how effective AT can be matched to individual needs. This provides a structured and student-centred approach, which is essential in both mainstream and special education settings.
There are so many online tools available to support teaching and learning. The digital learning planning guidelines will offer a helpful framework to ensure these tools are implemented effectively and sustainably within my class and school. As a mainstream teacher I already see how this module will influence my planning and classroom strategies going forward. School self evaluation will be made easier to identify the focus of AT and lead to real improvments.
