The project designs, tests, and evaluates the Teach ME system. The Teach ME system embodies universal design for learning principles by using smart sensor technology to create manipulative activities for all students and specifically addresses the needs of students with cognitive disabilities. Research identifies a family of radio frequency (rf) passive tags, both regular and anti-collision, and a reader/scanner chip that supports a variety of dual tag educational applications. RF passive tags provide a cost-effective way to build knowledge into the education environment and support manipulative education activities, while providing concrete objects required by students with disabilities.
