====﻿A // key // factor that I believe is a helpful tool in this days society especially when implemented into education is Technology. This can be through a variety of techniques all focusing on an interactive classroom. When this strategy and interactive approach is undertaken by the teacher an updated and modern approach to learning is experienced and benefiting students for the 21st century learning environment and lifestyle.==== ====The link below shows not only the effect that technology has on the learning environment but the age of the teacher, the gender and the environmental factors in hand with technology that effect a students learning, most of the time a student with a disability. It shows various views on the topic both positive and negative====

====A current phenomenon in Australian school education including special schools with students with LD is the rapid adaption of interactive white boards and Spectronic BIGmac Communicators. The article presents findings of studies investigating different aspects of interactive pedagogy from a range of educational perspectives including: classroom interaction, teacher attitudes and teacher creativity.==== ====The implementation of the communication devices in BIGmac devices I see as an extremely effective tool in communicating with parents and teachers, witholding the relationship between both parties with best interest in the needs of the child. The device is also extremely popular in the school environment within the teachers as audio taping can be used to concentrate on communication skills to draw the childs attention to inappropriate behaviour. So it can also be used in a behavioural sense.====
