Students with disabilities often struggle to perform at the same level of their peers in a post-secondary setting. Assistive Technology, like a SmartPen, would allow my students to learn how to be actively engaged in note-taking without the fear of missing out on what the teacher is saying due to their difficulties with spelling or written language. This active note-taking skill is crucial to their success in the post-secondary setting, and is something that needs to be taught and practiced prior to graduating high school. A SmartPen will allow my students with disabilities to build their independence within the classroom by allowing for a multi-sensory approach to note-taking and studying. My auditory learners could extract the audio version alone so that it takes away the stress of seeing words. It would also provide my visual/kinesthetic learners (my doodlers) a new outlet for transcribing their notes in their own style without missing out on the important words that go along with their images. Most importantly, the Echo Pen from Livescribe also would allow my students to keep their notes organized, and spend less time hunting through their notes to help with homework or tests because they would be able to search for key words or phrases within their notes.
