E-inclusion in Early French Immersion Classrooms: Using Digital Technologies to Support Inclusive Practices That Meet the Needs of All Learners.

This paper presents a 2-year collaborative action research project that investigated the use of digital technologies to support inclusive practices in Early French Immersion (EFI) classrooms. The findings reveal that the collaborative action research project contributed to empowering teachers in using digital technologies to support the implementation of new inclusive instructional strategies. The use of digital technologies allows for the implementation of inclusive instructional strategies by providing multiple means of representation, action and expression, and engagement, based on the Universal Design Learning (UDL) framework. The findings also support the adoption of an e-inclusion approach in EFI classrooms to meet the needs of all learners. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
