Individuals or groups can develop software, using an authoring package, for the whole class to use. This requires inclusive thinking, including a regard for the needs of every individual member of the class. It is also a constructionist approach to learning whereby the student owns the content and the process of their own learning. Any computer supported instruction or method of teaching that attempts to promote inclusion can only be successful if there is a prior, generalized commitment to the principles of inclusion. A student directed approach results in a commitment to the principles of inclusion and of the results of learning.
Inclusion is an ideal - a difficult, yet essential goal for educators to achieve in real life.
No classroom can be held up as the ultimate inclusionary success and no two educators will pursue inclusion in the same way. Although the classrooms in this video were carefully screened to meet specific criteria, the results of these projects may serve as a model for implementation of educational technology in today's typical heterogeneous, active classroom. We'd like to thank the teachers for generously sharing their successes and helping others to work towards the goal of inclusion for all students. Last updated by Steve Collins .
