English: This article explores the viability of implementing a technology learning programme
in a school for learners with special educational needs. TechnEd (the former RAUTEC),

project. The nature of the project required a qualitative, action research approach
using group interviewing, observation and narratives to gather data. The action
research allowed for evaluation, planning and action after every session. Qualitative
