Differentiation

Differentiation looks to avoid this sort of teaching

     From what we have covered, both in and out class, I have come to understand that differentiation is an extremely important part of education. Differentiation is method of teaching in which the instructor provides different ways of presenting the information so that a variety of students can find success. This all based on the understanding that all students do not learn the same way. 
     While differentiation is vital for education, it isn't widely used to great success. There are countless different ways that students learn and this can make it nearly impossible for a teacher to meet every students' needs. 

This is where I believe technology can be of great help. Teachers can use different technologies that cater different needs. For example, visual learners could use something such as the iPad to work with the materials in a way that appeals to them. By having many different types of technologies in the classroom, students can take some control of their own learning and find what ways best aid them in understanding the information. For the teacher, this helps them discover the ways that students learn and allows for future lessons to be developed more inline with the students' needs.
