This article, reposted on EdWeek, is worth our attention. For decades, educational technology has been used to serve populations with disabilities. That trend continues. I have worked in small communities and so we often find ourselves trying to get up to speed to identify the technologies our students need, or to get old devices to work on new systems ("Can't we use the device we bought 15 years ago for a student who had the same disability?" asks the principal. "No replies," replies the technology coordinator, "that we have no computers with that operating system."
