I work with ED students at the middle school level. We have a one to one laptop roll out at our school. However, sometimes it is difficult to keep students fully engaged in the lesson and to keep them from tuning out when they have the tech device in front of them. We have moved from using them for instruction to using them as reinforcement. If anyone has any suggestions on ways I can improve this, I would greatly appreciate it.

I agree with you. I think specially Kahoot students love it.

Here is another list for apps that can be used for special education:

There are extensions that help to keep students focused on what they are supposed to be doing on the computer rather than distracted by their devices. For example, Netop Vision allows teachers to view and control what students have access to on the screens of their Chromebooks. There are many others as well. Can anyone suggest an app or ext you have used for this purpose and tell what you think of it?

Thank you for sharing. You are awesome:)
