Abstract/Summary

The aim of this exploratory research was to investigate disabled trainee-teachers’[i] experiences of digital technology uses during their training years. The three objectives of the project were: to find out ways in which digital technologies can support trainee-teachers with disabilities in the context of their school experience blocks and university-based training; to explore issues around the implementation of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) as personal support tools and teaching resources; to discuss points emerging from the integration of these technologies on institutional structures and cultures of teaching and learning.
