Technology to Create a Positive Learning Environment for Diverse Students. A Solution-Finding Report
Sullivan, Robert, Comp.
Center on Innovations in Learning, Temple University
This Solution-Finding Report provides information, requested by Anushka Shirali with the Northeast Comprehensive Center|RMC Research, on behalf of New York State, for resources on research-based best practices and instructional strategies so the districts that wish to use technology to create a positive learning environment for their diverse students can receive needed assistance. New York State's Office of Educational Design and Technology would like to foster best practices state-wide using technology, by building digital resources, instructional models, strategic planning documents, stakeholder engagement resources, etc., to help districts utilize technology to support culturally- and linguistically-responsive learning environments. The list of resources is divided up into four categories: (1) Technology to Create a Positive Learning Environment for Diverse Students; (2) Culturally-Responsive Learning Environments; (3) Linguistically-Responsive Learning Environments; and (4) Culturally- and Linguistically-Responsive Learning Environments. The first category directly links diversity and technology. The remaining three categories have been compiled so that districts can make them available online for educators to read or download, since computer availability of these resources is a form of technology. If districts were to make the links available to educators in a database, they might go a long way toward resolving or helping with some of the problems educators meet in creating a positive learning environment for diverse students. Solution-Finding Reports are intended to provide a quick response to the request for information; they are not intended to be a definitive literature survey or synthesis of the topic.
