Introduction

Teaching in a Malaysian school presents many challenges to a teacher - none greater than the sheer diversity of his or her students. This is probably true for teachers all over the world. Teachers in the twenty-first century are expected to cope with these diversities in a sensible and sensitive manner. Our nation's commitment to equity for all, demands that our educational efforts must be inclusive to all of our country's citizens. These diversities not only relate to the size, shape, gender, and ethnicity, but also to the different learning abilities, styles and behaviours present in our country. This section will engage you in considering how ICTs support teachers like you cope with diversity and inclusion in the classroom. We will look at this challenge in four parts as presented in the table below.
