Abstract

In the present scenario, schools eliminate disabled children by conducting entry behavior or intelligence test. For that reason, all gifted and talented students are admitted in the general education classroom. Fulfilling the educational needs of the students in the classroom is currently a major problem for a lot of teachers in institutions. Among the many varied challenges faced by the general education teacher, one challenge is mainly impenetrable. That is, how does the teacher fulfill the special needs of students with extraordinary academic ability and the needs of those students who are not as sophisticated? The insensitive reality of overcapacity and budget cuts makes it increasingly difficult to meet the educational needs of every student. Teacher centered instruction, or teaching the same curricula to all students, is no longer a feasible approach. Teachers have to discover innovative ways to stimulate thinking and create advanced learning opportunities for all students, especially for learning disabled children. The best way to make classes more effective was by using virtual technology in the classroom for learning disabled children. In this article, the author discussed how teachers could infuse best practices from learning disabled children through the formation of a virtual classroom environment in learning.
