One of the curriculum’s through which, educational technology can support competency-based learning in my specialized school setting, is with the use of Mobymax, a free individualized digital curriculum. It is a digital learning environment that provides practice in math and language skills. Mobymax provides placement tests to start students at their current skill level. It also collects data to show how engaged, motivated and successful each student has been during the lesson. Mobymax finds and fixes learning gaps with the help of personalized learning. I am gradually introducing Mobymax to my special needs students. The students have not had positive learning experiences in mathematics, therefore, slowly transitioning them to this method of learning will take time. At this point in time, the students who have been introduced to this method have been receptive and are slowly making progress. Another personalized learning platform for my special needs students has been the introduction to Google Classroom, a free online platform where I can create, distribute and grade assignments. I am still not as comfortable using this platform as I would like to be, but I am confident with the instructor’s guidance and my cohort I will reach this goal.
