The inclusionary benefits achieved from the use of Mobile ICT are particularly apparent in the video from St. Joseph’s.

Strategies for using software to support literacy and inclusion in mainstream classrooms are apparent in this case, along with the role of team-teaching in developing inclusive teaching practice.

This case especially illustrates the supportive role of the school’s Learning Support Co-ordinator in assisting other teachers to use mobile ICT, along with the potential benefits to students with Specific Learning Disabilities.

The realisation of the potential of mobile ICT comes across in this case, along with practical examples of how mobile ICT can be developed and managed within a busy school environment.
