Technology and Diverse Learners

Students with disabilities can be supported by technology in many ways. Discuss how students with disabilities who need help with certain subjects can be supported by educational technology. Select a subject and provide a specific example of how you could support diverse learners in your classroom with technology.


There are technologies out there that can enable students who cannot hear, to be able to read what is going on or vice versa. For students that are not able to speak, technology can provide a voice for them. Technology can enable a student who cannot move to have mobility. Students who struggle with fine motor skills and writing can use word processing which allows them to "write".

In my classroom I would have recorded books available for students who struggle to read. This was they would be able to follow along in the book and recognize words that they would have not known reading on their own.
