Educational Technology and Anxiety
Are "tech-savvy" classrooms a trigger for anxious kids?
Answering Questions to Modern Issues
What about technology is a trigger for students? -- A few of hundreds of triggers!
The Dreaded "Enter" Button - Anxiety
The Devices Themselves - ADHD
Common Technical Issues and Sounds - Autism
What You Can Do to Help
Staying patient with students is ultimately what will help them flourish. Don't get mad at students with anxiety, ADHD, and autism--it just makes things worse! Getting angry with a child because of their brain chemistry is the equivalent to being upset with a colleague because he or she has legs.
Make sure students are well-versed in technology. The more students use their devices, the more comfortable they will become and the less stressful electronic usage will be. As a whole, patience, understanding, and repetitive use can help ease children of all mental backgrounds into the technological well, opening the door for the immense benefits of educational technology.
