Differentiated instruction pertains to finding different
methods of instruction to reach all of the students in my class. I feel this is a key aspect of teaching, and
that every teacher should try to reach every student. No students should be discounted because of
any classification or disability.
This link provides information on differentiating
instruction using technology. I feel
that the use of technology is a great way to reach students who may not be
adept at book learning. Teachers need to
plan lessons and make adjustments to their original plan to meet the needs of
their students. Some students may not
read well. Therefore, the use of Youtube
videos or Web 2.0 based activities may be much more effective than having force
their way through a book. Additionally,
some students may not like reading books much.
It is important for teachers to understand their students’ interests and
how they learn best, and then adapt their lesson plans accordingly.
The use of technology in the classroom is not the only
method to differentiate instruction.
However, it is an important element that can help a teacher meet her
students needs.
