Bridging the Gap: 21st Century Technology Helps Special Educators Meet the Unique Learning Needs of Their Students

 

We're pleased to share an article published in the Lexington Minuteman about one of LEF's Program Grants awarded for the 2009-2010 school year,

 

"Bridging the Gap: 21st Century Technology Helps Special Educators Meet the Unique Learning Needs of Their Students"

 

We all know that electronic media takes up a huge amount of kids' leisure time, but new technologies have also led to a sea change in the way that schools can deliver classroom instruction to mainstream students and those with diverse learning needs
