  Case: Are computers the answer?
In today's society, the need for technology is really demanding. If you do not have a source of technology many people might consider you as being left behind. Mr. Green handed out an at home project to his 5th grade students that must be completed within two weeks. The project includes information that must be found from the internet. Not all of the students in Mr. Green's class have access to a computer. What should he do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Prior to the assignment, Mr. Green should take all possible outside factors into account. When assigning a project that requires computer access, teachers should be prepared to make modifications for learners who do not have access to technology. Perhaps in-class time or a trip to the computer lab to allow all students time to complete the project. Otherwise, the assignment should be modified or an alternate assessment should be available for students who do not have access to the necessary resources.
