A happy Independence to All the St. Lucian Educators. 

Now that you are 38 years old as a nation, What do you want to see next for teaching and training? 

St. Lucia records very high literacy rates. 

Are there other things to be done to take literacy even further? 

What about promoting mobile technology in rural areas and promoting mobile technology for reading?

Do you see these options as distractive or possibly useful for St. Lucia?

Please share your thoughts as we explore how to make mobile technology inroads in education in the Caribbean.

Hi Sean,

           Thank you for posting. I am more than happy to engage in a dialogue with you.  The issue of technology use among special needs student populations is a critical one. It is also one that has not received much attention.

Are you interested in the research literature or in current projects that focus on technology use among special needs populations? And what age group are you looking at?

Best,

Kathy

Hello. I am a graduate student at Valdosta State University. I am looking for someone willing to engage in a global and collaborative dialogue about the importance of technology in instructing diverse learners, including students with special needs. Is this something that anyone would be willing to engage with? Thank you in advance.
