“…Zihinsel yetersizliği olan öğrencilerin genel eğitim sınıflarında engelli olmayan akranları ile birlikte eğitim almaları ve günlük yaşama uyumlarını geliştirerek toplum içinde bağımsız duruma gelmelerini sağlamak önemlidir (Kaplan, Öztürk Doruk ve Duran, 2016). Bu nedenle okul öncesi dönemden yükseköğretime kadar eğitimin her aşamasında bireylerin güdülenme düzeylerini artıran, öğrenmeyi somutlaştıran, öğretme-öğrenme sürecine çeşitlilik ve değişiklik katan teknolojinin (Kose, 2009) eğitime entegrasyonunun sağlanması, bu durumdaki bireylerin yetiştirilmesinde önemli rol oynamaktadır (Davies, 2011;Kaleli Yılmaz, 2015;Olçay Gül, 2016;Perry ve Dockett, 2008, s. 93). Nitekim son yıllarda eğitim alanındaki önemli reform çalışmalarından birisi, teknolojinin eğitime entegrasyonudur (Hwang, Su, Huang ve Dong, 2009;Lim ve Chai, 2004;Lim ve Khine, 2006).…”

“…Intramuscular EMG signals are detected using wires or needles inserted into the muscles, while surface EMG signals are detected using a pair of electrodes or more complex array of multiple electrodes attached to the surface above the muscle on the skin. EMG is also used in many medical laboratories in giving diagnostic tests used to evaluate the body's nerve and muscle function and assesses a potential neurological disease (John Hopkins Hospital, 2017). Since then, electromyographic signals associated with handwriting have received little attention.…”

Purpose -The study aimed to improve the presenter's capability to give a presentation in a hands-free manner. It covered the design of a wearable armband that uses electromyography (EMG), Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), and Bluetooth wireless technology. Also, it covered the development of presentation software for Windows operating system.Method -The study employed the common elements of engineering design process which includes problem identification, requirement analysis, design solution, implementation, and testing. Prototyping approach was used to design the armband to ensure that it can properly gather raw EMG and IMU signals. Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) was used to develop the presentation software so it could interpret the received signals into common hand gestures and facilitate free handwriting on air.Results -Raw EMG and IMU signals could be transmitted from the armband to the attached computer via Bluetooth successfully. The developed software was able to interpret the received signals from the armband and perform the corresponding computer navigation commands. It is able to recognize and translate dynamic gestures into an equivalent handwriting. Furthermore, it is able to read different file types such as Portable Document File (PDF), PowerPoint, Word document and audio-video media files.Conclusion -The angular velocity and linear acceleration data from arm movement along with the electromyographic data from forearm muscle contraction could be successfully used to implement hands-free navigation and free-hand writing on air. Thus, the integration of IMU with the EMG signals for dynamic hand gestures and free-handwriting work accordingly.Recommendations -To increase the number of recognizable gestures, additional EMG sensors must be placed in more strategic positions. Handwriting functionality could be improved with the use of additional handwriting recognition algorithm.Research Implications -Modern presentation tools like interactive whiteboard offers a lot of promising functionality but it comes with a price. The use of an add-on wearable device for lecture and presentation purposes will benefit various organizations and academic institutions since it will give them the advantage of modern presentation tools without having to abandon the currently usable laptop and LCD projectors.

“…For the effective use the Tablet PC's in the education of disabled students, the education software should be strictly prepared and designed in accordance with the characteristics of children (Kose, 2009, Choi & Chan, 2015. As a main difference in such applications when compared with the content and materials developed for the regular individuals that are all colourful and attarctive, the content is simple, clear and the information wanted to be taught or transmitted is provided in the most simple way, there are no visuals that may cause information confusion and the environment is prepared for the interaction of child when learning (Fien, Doabler, Nelson, Kosty, Clarke & Baker, 2016;Kagohara, Meer, Ramdoss, O'Reilly, Lancioni, Davis, Rispoli, Lang, Marschik, Sutherland, Green & Sigafoos, 2013;Chen, Lee, Lin, 2016).…”

It is clearly understood that technology oriented education on special training is neither sound nor adequate when considered from the literary point of view in our country. Limited studies held in country not only support this point of view but also demonstrate the lack of resource and studies carried out in this area. During the designing and developing process one of the qualitative methods called the design base research but then completing the design and development process, a common academic way of evaluation the single subject research method have been implemented in order to test the forcibleness of the work in the respect of special training and education. The study carried out through nine special training tutors and ten mentally disabled students. The following as a pilot study, the efficiency process has been accomplished through three teachers and three students. The feedback forms used to get the remarks of the teachers and through the use of the content analysis method the data resolved, during the phase of evaluation of the software. In respect of the analyses carried out, the practice has been considered as rather effective and applicable and useful by the teachers attended this pilot case study. The process confirming the results of the case study carried out by the teachers, according to the afore stated study, the results have been successful and the targeted notions have also been learned, which made the students feel that all these practices worked! It could easily be said that the software developed is both useful and applicable, moreover, the trainings committed conveniently have rather been effective.
