=Using Technology to Support Higher Order Thinking= __How can technology be used to support higher order thinking?__ - Technology can be used to support higher order thinking by applying different types of programs that teach people to use effective software within our society. If we increase our ability to cooperate with technology. I believe we can increase our knowledge and ability to network. Children of younger ages have been able to react with a better understanding when it comes to technology versus adults. We should increase the adult population focus to be more aware of technology. This may increase a wider range of network ability. This will also increase a higher order intelligence from the material that a lot of software is providing through technology.

__Give an example of a technology that supports higher-order thinking and be specific in describing HOW it supports higher order thinking.__ [] This website allows people to get a 360 degree image of the Supreme Court. This internet tour provides very useful information, and gives your a better sense of direction around the Supreme Court. If you are a tourist I recommend this website towards your pre-tourism research. With this type of useful material provided by today's technology, we are supporting higher order thinking because we are giving a better understanding of location and graphical imagery of the Supreme Court.

=Using Technology to Affirm Diversity=

__How can technology be used to affirm diversity.__ Technology is a very good way to affirm the diversity means within a society. By using technology anyone can research information and develop a better understanding of their cultural history. Technology has been able to provide information and research on every culture around the world. Technology related to diversity is accessible for all age learners. There are many games and puzzles over the internet that can help younger children to learn up on their culture.

__Give an example of a technology that affirms diversity and be specific in describing HOW it affirms diversity.__ [] "African American World" - a major resource materialized by the African American culture. With this website you can find important information, either past or present within the culture. This website provides: History, Arts & Culture, Race & Society, and a Profiles link. these links bring to you all corners of literary information from the African American culture. There is a community section where you can find current news feed information. If you want your child to learn more about this culture. This website also provides a kids tab to have simpler material to learn about their diversity. This is a great website to find great information about the diversity within this culture. =Using Technology to Support All Learners=

__How can technology be used to address the needs of learners with special needs?__ Technology has been considered a source of information for adult understanding. As we have become more comfortable with the use of technology, we have been able to inhibit programs, and devices designed for learners of all ages. We have also been able to develop easy to follow programming within multiple different technology devices. This type of formatting has been aimed for the use of learners with special needs. When we find a student with a weakness in their learning, we have been able to develop specific software that helps these learners overcome their special needs. Technology has helped special needs students catch up with the rest of their class. This not only helps student, but it increases comfort towards those special needs students within any classroom atmosphere.

__Give an example and explain how it would support students with special/diverse needs in your future classroom?__ [] This website is not the technology that I am using as an example. This website is advertising and cooperated with the special needs device called: The Leap Frog Reading Device. This device is a reading pad where you can buy multiple story books for the pad. The pad comes with a linked pen. with this pen special need learners can point on the sentences within the story that they are having trouble reading. The Leap Frog pad calculates the position of pen location and speaks to you the sentence with a computerized voice. I believe that this form of technology is great for special needs learners because they can practice and have fun. This Leap Frog Device looks and plays like a toy. This attracts the student and brings interest to learning.
