There are so many ways that technology can meet the needs of diverse students. The media specialist has the opportunity to introduce many different technologies and there uses to both teachers and students. Ebooks and other books on line can be used with students who have learning disabilites and with students who are visually impaired. There are also benefits to using the many software programs that are available to students. These programs can be used with students who are performing both above and below grade level. So many of the programs and technologies that are available can be geared to specific learners and specific needs. Also, the use of video and movie maker make it easier to reach your divers populations because, again, it cna be geared to specific needs, grade levels, etc.
Our school has a growing hispanic population so programs that are geared to the hispanic population is also very useful.

Jill, I agree it seems really easy to use technology to help our diverse learners. It seems as the media specialist there is always more and more new things that we will need to be aware of, so that we can offer it to our students.
I agree that in the media center, we have the opportunity to introduce many different types of technologies to teachers and students. By keeping abreast of technology, we will be able to help the students with learning disabilities and help them benefit the most. I also agree that we can tailor some of these technologies to specific learners.
