The diversity learning experiences were completed to help me gain an understanding of the importance of using technology tools and resources to support diverse student needs. All students should be awarded an equal opportunity to learn. The diversity field experiences helped me achieve the needed skills to meet the diverse needs of my students no matter their backgrounds.
Throughout the Instructional Technology program, I completed numerous learning experiences that allowed me to work with various students with diverse needs. I worked with ELL students and used technology resources and tools to help them meet their learning objectives and skills for their math lessons. Also, I worked with a hearing deficit student. I was allowed to learn about his assistive technology hearing devices to assist with his hearing to provide him with an equal opportunity to learn.
The design and developmental process of the diversity learning experiences helped me understand what it truly means to meet the diverse needs of each student. I modeled and facilitated the use of digital tools and resources to support diverse student needs, enhance cultural understanding, and increase global awareness. I learned about a lot of digital tools and resources that are available to students to use for teaching and learning while meeting the students' diverse needs. Additionally, I learned about students' cultures, and while working with the ELL students, I also learned some of their music from their culture. Understanding and learning how to meet students' diverse needs also helped increase global awareness within the schools.
Although diversity learning experiences cannot be formally assessed, it impacted my professional practice and students' learning positively. Meeting the diverse needs of students has led to an increase in student achievement. Digital equity has also been impacted as there has been an improvement in the area of providing digital tools for all students to increase teaching and learning experiences.
