Creating a Virtual Learning Environment for Gifted and Talented Learners
Christopher F. Mulrine
Your school has just eliminated the gifted and talented pull-out program due to budgetary constraints. Therefore, all gifted and talented students will now be taught in the general education classroom. One of your kindergarten students, Sean, is academically gifted and is advanced beyond his peers in math, social studies, and science. He is computer literate. Sean is constantly playing computer games and uses the computer for his classroom and homework assignments. Although this student is gifted, he also has a disability. His low vision requires assistive technology to aid him in reading text. You query this predicament: “How can I meet Sean’s educational needs while simultaneously reaching out to the needs of the other students in my class?”
