Tools for Diverse Learners TrainingGoogle's mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. We strive to continue making our products more accessible to users, including students with disabilities or learning challenges. As technology plays an increasingly large role in the classroom, think about how you might use different features to assist your students with disabilities or special needs, or anyone else who may benefit from them. When it comes to learning, there is certainly no one-size-fits-all solution that will resonate with every student, so it’s important to consider features that could be helpful in addressing your students’ needs.

Support English Language Learners CourseIn this lesson, we explore how learners may have more knowledge in their primary language and provide both teachers and learners robust tools to tap into the diverse groups that make up classrooms. We'll provide strategies for educators to create culturally responsive learning environments.
