I will assign them to the group that best fits their needs or interests. I’ve thought about adding some other groups, but it is just too much work for a one credit class.<o:p></o:p></p>

with disabilities take the class. Oh yes, I’ve had three different students who wanted to become assistive technology specialists take the class too.<o:p></o:p></p>
