Students with Learning Disabilities can have access and participate and collaborate using blogs and wikis. They can read or have the blog question read to them. They can write their comments or have them scribed by a peer or teacher. They will improve their reading and writing skills as they read, edit, and respond to their classmates and teachers' responses. When students have a purpose for their writing they are more motivated to respond and perform better. When students know they have an audience by publishing their work they are more likely to give it their best shot. When given chances to learn and practice during the the school day they will improve their writing and reading as well as their thinking and problem solving skills. Adding these tools to the classroom will provide interaction with others and eventually prepare the children for college, jobs and careers after high school
