Students learn better when they are actively engaged in a given lesson. With Special Education students, this is an even more challenging task. Students respond and retain information better when actively engaged in a lesson. Lessons can be presented in different ways, with larger fonts, colors, pictures, videos and movies. With the use of the projector, students will engage in interactive lessons, and they will have the opportunity to get out of their seats and become a part of the lesson. When students are engaged in the lesson, learning increases, student gain confidence, grades improve and test scores go up!
