There are many ways in which technology can be integrated in to your teaching and one such way is to help students that struggle with their learning!
Kognity is not developed specifically for higher or lower ability students, but there are options that could help you cater for those that need your help the most! Here are our solutions to the most common concerns we hear from teachers:
My students struggle with the English language: For some students, English isn’t their first language - sometimes it's their second, third or even fourth language! Because Kognity is digital, your students can easily translate either the whole text or just specific parts using Google Translate directly in their browser.
My students have low reading ability: we distinguish between struggling with language (see point 1) and reading - a student might understand the actual words but could be slow reading or find it difficult to digest longer texts. Another benefit of being digital means that text can be read out loud with an easy Chrome extension! Your student can choose male or female voice, dialects and also the presentation speed!
I have students with dyslexia: letters don't always make sense. Research shows that around 10% of all students in the UK have dyslexia and technology is here to help. Having the text read out loud is one thing, but changing the font of the text is another. Your students can easily change to a more suitable font using OpenDyslexic!
These apps require that you use Google Chrome for your browser - and then you can access the extensions mentioned above and many more in the Google store!
