Please use Edmodo to post your overall thoughts about this project and how it might support you in your efforts to support literacy for all students.

====Please note! This project is ideal to include in a professional portfolio! Your shopping trip and budget are pretend. The goal is for you to see what it would take to implement an ideal learning situation OR a very practical proposal for your class/program/school, etc. ====

====**//It is not likely that you will find assistive technologies or quality educational software in shopping venues, you must call the company or visit the website. There is no need to restate this in your project.//** ====
