Differentiation

Differentiation, to my understanding is simply providing instruction in a variety of ways to meet the needs of a variety of learners. I really didn't know what differentiation in the classroom was until this semester but after learning what it was I realized how much it is used in teaching. Thinking back, I didn't see differentiation in my classrooms until about high school.

Technology plays a major role in differentiation. I think that technology makes it a lot easier for teachers to differentiate their lessons. For example, with inventions like the power point and many others teachers are able to easily educate their students, however their learning styles may be.  Technology has also helped teachers find out what kind of learning styles their students have.
