Ms. Banerjee is considering using a well-reviewed computer-based enrichment activity for her class of high-achieving readers, which includes 9 girls and 3 boys. Based on the research regarding gender differences in experience with technology, the best strategy for Ms. Banerjee is to:
a. assign the activity as long as it includes some video-game-like components to ensure that the boys remain interested.
b. provide extra scaffolding for the girls before assigning the activity because girls at this age are typically less experienced with technology than boys are.
c. assign the activity along with support to ensure that all students are comfortable and confident using it.
d. provide extra scaffolding for the boys before assigning the task because boys at this age typically do less well than girls at reading and writing tasks.
