Welcome to the instructor web resource site for Technology for Exceptional Learners. The materials available here are designed to enhance any course that uses the textbook and to offer suggested perspectives and approaches that you can adapt to suit your own teaching goals.
Below you will find links to sample syllabi, suggested class activities, and PowerPoint slides that offer summaries of key topics. Also be sure to examine the corresponding student website, which offers a variety of materials that your students can use as an adjunct to the printed book.
If you have questions about these materials or any part of the textbook, please feel free to contact me at sirvine@american.edu

Here you will find two sample syllabi, one for a foundations or introduction to special education course and another for a course focused exclusively on special education technology. Each syllabus has stated objectives that map to the CEC Performance-Based Standards, as well as a course calendar with topics matched to readings from the text.

For each chapter in the text, this section of the site offers selected activities that I have found useful in my own classes. Many of them involve exposing the students to demonstration versions of software packages. These activities provide hands-on learning experiences that can help your students develop a better sense of what it is like to teach exceptional children.
