=**How can technology be used to support higher-order thinking?**= Technology can be used to support higher order thinking because I look at them almost as the same. Higher order thinking requires different teaching methods and is more difficult to learn, but so is technology. Technology can be used to support higher order thinking because it's a more up to date type of learning.

An example of a technology that supports higher order thinking could be something like a math website that makes a student work on their math skills. This would support higher order thinking because it will make the student think more in depth, which would be making them think on a deep cognitive level.

=**Using Technology to Affirm Diversity**= -Technology can be used to affirm diversity by giving students access to explore diversity. With this technology students are able to get online and learn about all different kinds of diversity: religions, cultures etc. -An example of a technology that affirms diversity could be a diversity website of possibly a particular culture or race. This website/technology would help students learn a lot about this by doing research on the website.

=Using Technology to Support All Learners= -Assistive technologies are extremely important in the classroom when it comes to students with special needs. These technologies can help students with special needs by accomodating them. -This technology can be used to address the needs of students with special needs in many ways. One way could be for example, if a student had problems reading words or getting confused easy you could use special markers/highlighters that would help them keep their place while reading and help them read the words for proficiently.
