Introduction
There are not many areas of education that do not incorporate some form of technology. However, while technology has become a significant part of the learning process, it is important that technology is accessible to all learners and that adaptive measures are in place for those students who may need this level of support.
As educators, you must be able to identify appropriate technology resources for your learners. Further, you must be able to ensure that any technology selected is accessible to all learners and that it is adaptable if necessary. When a technology resource meets these requirements, we can begin to consider it an equitable resource.
