- Abstract
The article discusses an education project designed to develop the language skills of students in special education through the the use of educational technology in a community-based setting. The authors address various aspects of the program, including its development as part of a graduate course at a local university, the use of social interaction and collaboration in education, and the role of social technologies in stimulating enthusiasm for learning in students. The article explores month-by-month information on the stages of the project, results of student achievement in reading and writing, and the implications of the project for professional development, collaboration, and parent involvement in education.
