How could the digital technologies described
in Chapter 6 be used or adapted to address student diversity? Be specific in
your examples.
There are many
ways that the digital technologies in chapter 6 can be adapted to address
student diversity. Touch screen monitors are very useful within the classroom.
They can be used for students who may struggle using a mouse and keyboard due
to a physical impairment. Electronic whiteboards can make any lesson
interactive for the students. These can be useful with students who have
difficulty with fine motor skills. Speakers and headphones can be very helpful
during reading. Students can listen to books on cd or listen to lessons that
have been previously recorded. Clickers can be used to get anonymous feedback
from students and since they are anonymous it will eliminate students being
scared of answering aloud. There are many resources out there for teachers, and
I feel like you can find some way to adapt almost any technology within the
classroom.
I really liked using the clickers in management. They can help you assess your student's progress without them feeling called out if they do not understand something.
ReplyDeleteThe clickers would be soo helpful! I love that idea! That way you, as a teacher, can see how the students are doing and who is struggling. I hope we are lucky enough to have them in our schools that we teach in. Great assessment! :)
