Using technology for differientiated instruction in a heterogenious classroom Using technology in the classroom provides an opportunity for teachers to differentiate instruction for students. Many lessons have been created to encourage teachers to use computers and numerous softwares to promote collaborative learning. Having students integrate technology into their work allows them options on presenting and organizing the information gathered. The progress may begin very simple with the group creating a spread sheet of tasks for the project and assign a group member to complete the task. The use of a wiki can be helpful with storing information, and editing and drafting as a group. Student groups can present their work through PowerPoint slide shows, videos, websites and digital animation. Technology can be integrated into all academic subject areas. Students work in pairs or small groups on webquest assignments and/or interactive websites that reinforce classwork. Students gain additional practice with interactive websites that are rich with vocabulary on the topic, and support skill and concepts. http://iteslj.org/Techniques/Kentera-Computers.html
