ABSTRACT

Technology tools can greatly enhance an individual's ability to learn new information. For students who are distracted during class or who just cannot keep up with the pace of the lesson, there are many affordable options available that link written notes with audio. This is very helpful for many students with special needs who can go back and listen to specific content that was recorded, if their notes are unclear. Many mobile apps and web-based programs allow users to create and use flash cards for online study or studying with a mobile device. Most require the user to set up an account, which is often free of charge. Digital flash cards are a great way to learn concrete information, such as English vocabulary words, foreign languages, or calculation problems. Interactive whiteboard apps can be used to help students with homework or to teach a lesson and make it available for future reference in person or online.
