A bit thing this week is that I would definitely feel more comfortable searching for useful educational software now than before. It is good to have some guidelines to narrow your search. It is also very useful to have a breakdown of the different types of software available, so you can mold your software choices to fit what you are trying to accomplish by using the technology. It is also interesting to see that there is software available to assist teachers with their daily activities. I would definitely be interested in looking into that when the time comes.
There are obviously many applications that can be applied through the use of software in the classroom. Simulation software can give students a chance to do or experience something that they would not be able to do otherwise. This presents them with a unique learning experience. Another application is regardless of what you are using the software to do is that students are always excited to work with technology and computers. Software would be a great way to motivate students and keep their attention.
Working on the assistive tech projects are any of the tools provided by the school in order to meet the least restrictive environment?

In fact, if a student can benefit from an assistive technology (and if it is part of his/her IEP) the school must provide it. My experience has been that the school will purchase whatever they must in order to fulfill a student's IEP, and it's up to the teacher to make sure it is used.
