Instructional aids in Italian schools

Abstract

The idea of making technological equipment in the classroom organic is not completely new in the Italian school if one considers that more than thirty years ago it was announced in terms of technical equipment (e.g., mobility or posture aids), teaching aids (special ergonomic keyboards or mice), and communicators useful for fostering student integration and participation.
What can be considered innovative, at present, is the way of considering the aids and aids that end up in Italian classrooms in tandem with the recent establishment of the National Registry of Educational Tools and Aids initiated since the last school reform so‐called Buona Scuola . The latter, has posed a modern system for managing educational resources purchased with public funding that has disclosed a study opportunity to observe in detail the spread of inclusive resources on school desks, especially in terms of participation, consistency and type of use.
