Section Four: Differentiating Instruction through Technology

Introduction
Technology is changing the way children are learning and the way teachers are teaching
because of the new teaching skills which is the differentiated instruction and the differentiated
progress also with the differentiated instruction which the teacher as to prepare an individualized
instruction for the children that is based on the assessment (Shelly, Gunter & Gunter, 2012). By
using technology it can be a help to the teachers by using this instruction. Teachers will be able
to share on their websites and their presentation and also the libraries which is found online and

can be used to differentiate instruction and impact in which the students may achieve. The tool is
used in the centered which is connected to the ISTE standards.
Technology to Differentiate Instruction
Online libraries: Are used as a differentiated instruction tool in which the classroom which
allow the students to research information own their own pace which is why the learning is made
individualized. Also it is a positive impact on the student achievement. This tool also connect
with the ISTE standards because of the student who demonstrate the ability of thinking and
impacting knowledge, Develop innovative product with processes of using technology (ISTE,
2007). The knowledge was use because of the acquirement of creativity which is to develop new
ideas.
The Presentation Markers: They would be used in classrooms as a power point or an Prezi or a
PowToon for the differentiate instruction, for example it could be explained by the topic to the
class and let them present a presentation of their own, so they can be able according to what they
learn T is a student centered because of the focus of the student skill developing which will allow
and positively impact on the student achievement. This tool also connect with the ISTE
Standards because of the student who demonstrate the ability of thinking and impacting
knowledge, Develop innovative product with processes of using technology(ISTE,2007). The
knowledge was use because of the acquirement of creativity which is to develop new ideas.
Teacher websites: Technological tool students are able to use in the classroom to have easy
access to lesson have practice of any subject that they are having a hard time with this tool give
supports to differentiating instruction so each students can have focus on different subjects which
is according to their needs. The tool will have an impact on the student achievement so they want
have to spend a lot of time on the topic they already have knowledge to because of the student

who need more reinforcement. It can be connected to the ISTE Standards because of the
demonstrate of a sound and by understanding of technology The concepts, system and how its
being operated (ISTE, 2007). The student understand how to use a computer and learned how to
use the website now the students used them both more effectively.
Pros and Cons
The use of technology, the different instructions they have pros and cons it is effective
because if the pros goes well then the cons arent weighed as much. The benefit of the
differences allows teachers to help with the needs and skills for all students. Technology can help
improve. Also helps with the communication of the teachers. The differences will keep the
higher level of students with the skills. The technology gives a different tool to help. There are
some disadvantage of different instructions which connects to the teacher it requires more work
when you are planning a lesson. An advantage is if the technology is not being used correctly the
students will be distracted.
Concluding Paragraph
In my conclusion keep up with the advances of technology is not easy with the use of
technology to differentiate instruction and the improvement of the learning process teacher
should be able to use the technology. There are 3 technologies which is available to be use in the
classroom and the presentation and the teacher websites and also the online libraries. Information
was given which was about how technology would impact the positively and how student
achievement was connected with the ISTE standards. The purpose was for teacher to keep up
with the technology and make sure the student have a great education.
