=1. Identify a learner or group/class = (Students come first - it's about the their learning)

Assistive Technology specialists often work collaboratively with teachers to identify ways that technology could be used to remove barriers to accessing curriculum. This involves understanding the Lesson Tasks, Goals, Materials, and Assessments of a Teacher's existing Lesson Plan so that appropriate tools can be identified to support the needs of the learner(s).

=2. Explore Social bookmarking Resources to find a tool =

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
**"Social bookmarking** is a way for users to store, organize, share and search web pages. In a social bookmarking system, users save links to that they want to remember and/or share. These bookmarks are usually public, but depending on the service's features, may be saved privately, shared only with specific people or groups, shared only inside certain, or another combination of public and private. The allowed people can usually view these bookmarks chronologically, by category or tags, via a search engine, or even randomly."

Prompt: Rubric:
 * Now that you have thought carefully about the role of educational software and/or the Internet in reaching all learners across the curriculum, do you believe you know what features to consider when evaluating software or websites (not assistive tech or specialized software quite yet)? Would you have confidence integrating these materials into your curriculum or a teacher's curriculum? Why or why not?
