You should use technology in a way that it is geared toward whatever learning differences the student has. After reading the article "Words Failed Me Then Saved Me" I did a search on how to help students with Dyslexia so I could understand Dyslexia better. I fount a wonderful cite that I will link you to at the end of my blog. This cite explains Dyslexia and how it affects the student. They suggest using technology in the form of letting a student with Dyslexia use laptops in the classroom because printing or writing is hard on them. They also encouraged having them use programs such as Dragon Naturally Speaking. I feel by using any technology that would take a abstract concept and make it concrete would help a student with Dyslexia.
I recommend taking a look at this cite because it explains Dyslexia a little bit better and gives teachers good advice they can use in the classroom to help students learn that has Dyslexia. You can find this cite here.
