How can GFCLearnFree.org enhance Special Education?

GFCLearnFree.org has the potential to be a great Special Education learning tool. Students in Special Ed. need to not only be taught academics but also like skills. The Everyday Life section has many different lessons on life skills and provides real-life experience without real-life consequences. Because many students with special needs are delayed in most aspects of life, it is hard at times for them to learn a lesson and know the consequences to their actions. By using GFCLearnFree.org students can have the real-life experience over and over again until they understand the steps in each lesson. At the end of each video it gives you the option to print the step-by-step instructions so that they can be used at a later time. Not every lesson has a video but the ones that do not have a video have step-by-step instructions on how to complete the lesson. Some lessons also provide quizzes at the end as well as resources to further your learning. Another useful feature on GFCLearnFree.org is their use of different learning styles. Every video has subtitles and every lesson has the option to be played over speakers which gives both blind and deaf students the opportunity to participate.
