The TechMatrix
(www.techmatrix.org) is a powerful, free online database to help
educators and families find educational and assistive technology resources and
help for students with special needs. Upon exploring TechMatrix I found a
resourceful helpful thorough site that enable educators to research assistive
technology that can be used in the classroom. Besides providing over 400
available products, the site also guides an individual toward the technology
that best suites the need of the student. Once several products are located the
educator can click compare and a chart is compiled. It is much easier to review the data about
each piece of technology when it is in a chart form The chart includes categories like age,
subject matter, disability and necessary
operating system just to name a few. It
is extremely helpful to use this site when researching specific technology.
