Overview
Beginning with an overview and basic review of technology found in the classroom, this book provides teachers and teacher candidates with the information they need to be effective in the classroom.
“The readability and clarity of this text are flawless… I think that this book simultaneously serves as a resource, a tutorial, a reference, and a compilation of relevant and necessary information to which all special educators need exposure.”
Jennie Schaff, George Mason University
