Dan has taken upon a very interesting topic of interest, Special Needs learning. Having read his review of “Assistive Technology and the Multiage Classroom” I have realised that technologies really have a place in assisting students with additional needs. What stuck out ot me the most was the use of technology “opened new pathways for students with alternative learning styles” (2002, p. 38).

I agree with Dan that with the use of technologies can assist students to work at their own pace and assist them with their own needs. Dan stated: “It seems to offer endless opportunities for learning, and works to break down the limitations that impede on the learning of students with needs that vary from the norm.” To which I wholeheartedly agree.
