How could the digital technologies described in this chapter have been used or adapted to address student diversity? Be specific in your examples.

Chapter 6 describes various successful ways to use digital technologies in the classroom. These technologies represent perfect ways to address student diversity. There is always student diversity in every classroom no matter what level or subject that you teach. These diversities can range from many different things including: Race, gender, language, students with learning disabilities, and even physical disabilities. Digital technologies can make a difference in reaching all students in the classroom no matter the diversity. Graphic tablets can be used with a stylus to draw diagrams or create artwork on an electronic pad. This can be used also in elementary schools to help students with hand writing disabilities. Touch screens are used to respond to human touch instead of a mouse. Touch screens can help students that are preliterate, cannot type, or have difficulty controlling a mouse due to physical impairment. Digital whiteboards are also used in the classroom so that instead of erasing information, you can save or even print the information. This can be beneficial to students that are slow copying information or students that do not understand the information and need to go back and look at it. A built in scanner records the drawing as the teacher writes on the whiteboard. The information can even be connected to the Internet. This will insure that all students are getting the same information and if something is missed, then they can go back and make sure they get all the information. The various digital technologies listed in chapter 6, can help adapt student diversity for many classrooms and reach all students no matter what the case may be.
