Abstract: One area that in-service teachers struggle is with utilizing technology for their students (Marino, Sameshima, and Beecher, 2009 as cited in Benton-Borghi, 2013). Due to the diverse needs of students in today’s classrooms, educators in all content areas and grade levels struggle with utilizing technology for students with disabilities in an inclusive classroom environment. Educator preparation programs must consider providing appropriate training in technology integration with the needs of students with disabilities in mind.
