1/27/2019 0 Comments Tech Supports Linguistic DiversityTechnology levels the playing field for children with diverse language backgrounds. My students have been playing around with Explain Everything as a form of communicating their learning. Lately, I have observed a significantly higher level of creative, critical thinking skills with students who are linguistically diverse. They appear more independent and engaged in problem solving when using technology during writing tasks and their writing includes more details and fewer grammatical errors. I have also observed a lot of peer teaching as they offer suggestions on how to navigate the Explain Everything app. Our next step is to explore more deeply the wide selection of templates available on the app to learn which format fits best with each student’s Synergy project.
