I'm the education technology specialist for the Mary Cariola Children's Center.
Basically, my job is to take all of the technology that the students would use in the classroom and help teachers integrate iPads, Smartboards, even desktop computers, into their daily lessons into the student's daily routines.
The Mercurial Children's Center is an agency for students from pre-K all the way to 21, who has significant physical and cognitive disabilities.
So the district send them here so we can better serve their needs.
Today we are at the Homewood campus, and what we had were a couple of students who, with their teacher, we run educational technology groups with them.
And so they were working on the iPad, doing with math centers and working on different apps that help their educational goals.
What's great about using an iPad or smart board is the students see that at home.
They see their parents using that.
They see their brothers and sisters using that, and they want to use it to deliver the instruction with an iPad or a smart board actually makes it more exciting.
So we have the engagement, which is probably one of the most important parts.
I think then with the technology, it can actually help them, help them be a little more independent.
