Diversity

In a intercity school in Little Rock, AR diversities in the classroom are very common. The diversity I have planned for in the PBL consist of different background experiences, cultural experience, second-language learners, ADHD, various special ed and 504 students. Using technology can assist all the diversities in my classroom during the unit.

Students with reading or language difficulties will have access to digital pens and well as text to speech using the iMac computer. The computer lab will be assessable before and after school for students that do not have internet or computer access so they will be able to work on their project outside of the classroom. Many of the students also have access to the county library in their neighborhoods. Visual learners will have access to various digital examples of the format of a business letter.

Program tutorials for word will be available for students to help with formatting skills. Those tutorials may be assessed on youtube or microsoft. I will instruct the students thru demonstration when possible with digital tools they would like to use for their presentation. Students that do not like to present may choose and animated presentation using goannimate.com.

Rocking in Arkansas is a very diverse PBL and allows room for all types of creativity for all learning styles.
