Differentiation






Differentiated instruction is an instructional method. Teachers can structure learning environments that address the variety of learning styles, interests, and abilities found within a classroom. This instructional method, can help children in the classroom and have a better learning experience. Differentiated learning, helps students to understand a concept, effectively. There are many different learning needs and teachers are now learning new ways to give personalized and individualized instruction. Children have different readiness levels, and might need extra help or a different way of learning a concept. Differentiation learning, is a way, that all students can be included and can also be successful. 

In my opinion, I think technology can help specifically with reading and math. I had and still have trouble with math. I think if my teachers would have used technology, I might have learned better. Some children understand things better on a computer, rather than listening to a teacher lecture. I had watched a video on how teachers use differentiation instruction with math to teach, and it was a very successful learning experience for the students.
