Abstract

The present informal study of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in special education through media arts. There are deep inequalities in the access of new technological opportunities and adaptive user experiences for students with special learning needs. Our goal as teacher educators is to improve enhance autonomous learning using the complementary subject of media arts. This new educational proposal aims to solve the technology usability problems for students with disabilities. The personalized autonomy of students’ use technology in school learning is a key strategy for students with disabilities. For this study as with many schools, the technology resources and educational services to implement digital skills and new ICT teaching-learning strategies for the complementary subject of media arts is not available. Finally, implementing these digital skills is an essential part of the educational-labor system for adolescent students with disabilities.
