    Turning Special Ed on Its Head: Tech Tools Help Struggling Students Succeed

    Posted by MobyMax on April 10, 2018
    by Caitlin Corlett,  7th Grade Special Education Teacher
    Lowell School - Whitestone, NY

    It takes one to know how to help one.

    That is why I became a special education teacher.

    Today, I teach 7th grade at The Lowell School in Queens. I know first-hand what struggling students go through, because I used to be just like them. When I was a kid, there were many times that I hated going to school because I couldn’t ‘get’ the lesson or understand what was happening in class. I was failing, but I didn’t know why.

    I started my career in general ed. But I remembered teachers who made it fun for me to learn certain things that just weren’t coming easily. I wanted to do that for other students, so I switched to Special Ed.

    My first year as a Special Ed teacher in 2010 was almost overwhelming. I had students on all different grade levels and with a variety of learning styles. Figuring out how to help each of them was a real challenge. Some needed to hear things read aloud; that could be a huge distraction for others. Some might be performing three grade levels above; others were several grades below. Yet they were all in the same 7th grade class!

    For help, I turned to technology -- specifically, the tools from MobyMax. What a lifesaver!

    Our school is a 12:1:1 classroom setting, with two teachers per class. All of our students have different learning disabilities, but MobyMax helps each one feel successful.
