As we have seen, Technology keeps moving forward. We as educators have to be opened and welcoming to all new technology. Our students NOW are born into technology (natives), in order to keep them engaged we have to be at the same speed as they are. For our students in Special Education learning with such technological devices will better assist them in their everyday lives. Technology will be everywhere, it is to the best interest of our students in special education to equip them with a general concept of what to expect out in the real world. Depending on the severity of the special needs of the student, we would adjust the software. The touch screen for the Promethean Board can greatly benefit students who are tactical learners because they can directly interact with the content by touching the words on the screen with the interactive pen. This type of technology will allow you to virtually have no limit to the visual and interactive exercises you are able to cover with your students.

Ethics and the Future of Promethean Board

Ethical issues that the Promethean Board faces in the educational community are not evident or known o f. Looking into the different trends, our school districts started with a school piloting the hardware and software. Now we have several schools that have every classroom with a Promethean Board. I believe all schools in a  time frame of about five years will have a Promethean Board in each one of their classrooms. As we continue to move forward we continue to purchase all updates and software that pertain to each grade level and subject matter. Workshops at our county office are made available to teachers in all levels of mastery. The most challenging matter will be to have the veteran teachers buy into the whole concept, pressure not only from the district and/or colleagues, but pressure from parents will either break or make teachers move forward with the new and advancing.
