I agree with the statement that the learning process must be able to satisfy the diversified needs and requirements of each and every learner. As an educator, viewing and removing the roadblocks that can make learning inaccessible for some students is one of the most important parts of my job. Finding ways to differentiate instruction not only removes those roadblocks but helps boost student engagement. This exercise was helpful as I got to look into technological accommodations that I can bring into my own classroom to help with students whos strength and weakness align with this case study.]]> 2023-10-21 03:30:28 UTC https://padlet.com/laurensimon3/ma7acv0rn3kil9xv/wish/2756868153 laurensimon3 https://padlet.com/laurensimon3/ma7acv0rn3kil9xv/wish/2756869870 (n.d.).
