Description

Currently, learning technologies are transforming and modifying educational systems with im-pressive progress of Information and Communication Technologies. Furthermore, when these technologies are available, accessible, usable and affordable, they represent more than just a transformation for people with disabilities, they represent real opportunities with access to an inclusive education and help to overcome the obstacles they meet in classical educational systems. In this paper we present some experiences using technology to support literacy teaching for deaf children through a storytelling technique.
