I am an instructor in Mathematics Education at the University of Michigan – Flint. Currently, I am completing my Master's Degree in Special Education with a focus on Learning Disabilities through the University of Michigan – Flint.
This WebQuest was created as part of a Self-Directed project for EDN544 – Technology for Learners with Special Needs, a graduate course in Special Education at the University of Michigan – Flint in August 2009. The intent is that this WebQuest can be used to help my undergraduate students, who are enrolled in Mathematics Education courses in the Elementary Education program, develop a rich understanding of the range of tools available for use in their future classrooms.
