Our group decided that this YouTube video provided by edutopia.org was an excellent example of differentiated instruction using technology. Teachers at Forest Lake Elementary School provide a variety of new aged technology (computers, laptops, smartboards, etc.) and programs that assist students to better understand and enjoy learning. Teachers also use technology to track and assess students progress, which helps to determine what level a student is at and then finding a learning strategy to help them improve and keep moving forward. With the support of the technology used, they also use a model for teaching called IPAC or Individualized, Personalized, Authentic and Collaborative (Learning). This allows students to explore different learning styles while still learning the subject matter assigned, then presenting their new knowledge in a way that's most comfortable for them using the technology provided. With technology having such an impact on our lives today, we should all use them to our advantage in assisting us with allowing our students to express their learning in multiple ways. It allows students to explore different learning styles, be more creative and express their personalities, and find new ways to enjoy learning.
