Description
In our rapidly evolving educational landscape, the integration of inclusive technology (IT) is pivotal for ensuring equitable access and enhanced learning outcomes for all students. Drawing inspiration from the Myths and Facts guidance provided by the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS), this session aims to transform traditional learning experiences into an engaging game-based approach. Participants will navigate through common misconceptions and realities surrounding inclusive technology, utilizing cards designed specifically for this purpose. Through gameplay, attendees will deepen their understanding of inclusive technology principles, exploring topics such as accessibility, assistive technology, and universal design for learning. By fostering collaboration and critical thinking, "Cards for HumanIT" encourages educators to reflect on their practices and embrace innovative strategies to create inclusive learning environments. Join us and embark on an immersive journey towards leveraging inclusive technology for the betterment of education systems worldwide.
