Filling in the gaps
For students with extra needs, technology can help fill in learning gaps, by exposing students to background information and providing opportunities for individual practice. For example, in an ESL classroom, the teacher might use an LCD projector to teach vocabulary terms coming up in a future lesson in the regular classroom. Students then can get individual practice with those terms in the computer lab.
This type of preteaching, which is “sort of like a preview to a movie,” has also been helpful for students in Title I programs, said Connie Boutwell, supervisor of federal programs for the district. If students have had an introduction to the vocabulary, she said, “when they hear it for the first time in the regular classroom they’re not lost.”
