Why do we talk about matching technology to the student?

  • Technology must consider the abilities of the student
  • Technology must accommodate the disabilities of the student
  • Technology must address the educational expectations and goals of the student
  • The student must have foundation skills before learning to use a high technology device
  • The student have opportunities to learn how to use the technology in a funtional context
