REFLECTION AND CONCLUSION

-

 Both tools, TTS and ALTERNATIVE KEYBOARDS, emphasize the value of accessibility in education. They align with the inclusive education philosophy of Bhutan, which focuses on equal opportunities and respect for diverse learners. These tools also support the principles of GNH-Based Education, where equity and well-being are central.

Critically reflecting on their use, i realized that assistive tool or technologies are not extra help but essential components of a learner-centered classroom. They promote autonomy. dignity, and active engagement for learners with diverse needs.

Moreover, as a future teacher, it is my duty to identify appropriate tools, understand how to use them effectively, and advocate for their availability in schools. I must also provide parents and special educators in the decision making process, ensuring the tools suits suit each leaners unique needs.

To conclude, assistive technologies like TEXT-TO-SPEECH tools and ALTERNATIVE KEYBOARDS are not only devices, they are bridges to inclusion. They ensure that every learner, regardless of ability, can thrive, participate, and feel valued in the classroom. My experience using these tools has inspired me to continue learning about inclusive strategies and to create classroom where every child has a chance to succeed.

BLOG 2: INTERACTIVE BRAINSTORMING WITH IDEABOARDZ (communicative)

-

 As a student still learning about digital tools, i recently had the chance to use ideaboardz during our ict class. Madam introduced us to this tool as a brainstorm and share ideas in a group. It was my first time using it, and i found it simple, clear, and useful for communicating with others. In class, madam created an ideaboardz with two different sections, and we were asked to post our thoughts on the given topic. Each of us typed our responses on sticky notes and added them under the right columns. It felt like a digital noticeboard where everyone could read and reflect on each others ideas. what i liked most was that everyone got a chance to share, even those who might be shy to speak out loud. One example i remember is when we were discussing the definition of digital native and digital immigrant columns. It was interesting to see how different people had different ideas, and it helped me understand the topic better by seeing it from multiple perspectives. At first, it felt ...

Inclusive education highlights that all children- irrespective of their abilities- are entitled to equal chances to learn. in this reflection, i examine two assistive tools; TEXT-TO-SPEECH TOOLS and ALTERNATIVE KEYBOARDS. These tools not only aid learners with special needs but also foster equity, independence, and active involvement in regular classes. TEXT-TO-SPEECH (TTS) TOOLS; TEXT-TO-SPEECH (TTS) is a digital tool that converts written texts into oral speech, enhancing accessibility for individuals with visual impairments, reading challenges, or learning disabilities. It is commonly utilized for the ease of multitasking, like listening to emails or articles while moving. TTS tools utilize AI and speech synthesis to generate voices that sound natural in various languages and accents. This technology is embedded in numerous devices and applications, such as smartphones, computers, and e-readers. well known examples of TEXT-TO-SPECCH applications or tools are google TEXT-TO-SPEECH, N...
