There is a large push in education currently for differentiated instruction and assessment. With the ever evolving technology at our fingertips, I believe that our possibilities to differentiate are greater than ever. Technology alone allows to work with our auditory, visual, and kinesthetic learners. If we could use technology to engage all these learners and find better ways to assess them, than we would be able to create greater student success.
Many technologies are available to personalize a learning experience to an individual student’s strengths. From tablets, eReaders, mobile phones, and beyond a student can engage him or herself in the most efficient way possible.
