Chapter 10: Promoting Success with Technology

Focus Question: How can technology engage and inspire learning fro diverse students?

Students from all around the world can be engaged and inspired by technology today. Teachers can use may different kinds of approach to allow diverse students to be more successful in school today and in the future. Students with technology can expand their knowledge of any kind of material. Teachers and students will be able to connect and classroom with different kinds of communities and cultures that are around the world. Online students can have the language translation that they may need to use a software. This can make it easy for them to learn a language.  Students and teachers have access to multilingual web resources, international newspapers, Interactive maps of the world, and they can learn the English language words origins.


In chapter 10, talked about the many ways that technology can promote success fro ALL students through technology. Technology ahs done so much for us. Students can go online to see many different places around the world.  It has also been a big help to all the diverse students who many need translation services or students who may want to learn another language. Teachers can now show the students multicultural education that can teach students that diversity is in our classrooms.
All students can learn from many different educational experiences from technology that can promote a students talent and their success as life long learners.  Teachers are the opening door to how a student can be successful learners by using correctly and knowing how technology can help them be successful for life.
Many of the different assistive devices that are made for students can make learning more effective for students. There are many resource's that are available online for students to use.  Learning how to use these kinds of sites, programs and soft wares can open doors for students. They wont feel like they are limited to only a textbook. They can go online and see what many resources can help them learn and gather information.
Technology can help students whom are not the best writers. It can help them write papers to their best capabilities. It can make it more interesting for students to write papers and show them the differences of how they can improve their writing capabilities. Still till this day I am learning about many soft wares that I can use to benefit me.

  1. The value of technology definitely influences all students for increased learning, when used in transformative ways, but it is especially helpful for students who have special needs. The process of continuous learning can be assisted by technology as we strive for 'lifelong learning' as well. :)
