Instruction & Technology

Catalog description

Differentiation requires the teacher to provide “different avenues to acquiring content, to processing or making sense of ideas, and to developing products so that each student can learn effectively.”(Tomlinson, 2001). Technology offers many tools to make this possible in every lesson. In this course, teachers will understand differentiation and explore tools that can be used to facilitate differentiated instruction and learning. Students will develop classroom mini-lessons throughout this course that facilitate differentiated learning using multiple technology tools. Teachers will also gain an understanding of the benefits of differentiation by implementing their mini-lessons and reflecting on and sharing instructional and classroom management strategies. Restrictions: Must be enrolled in one of the following Levels: Graduate College of Health and Human Sciences School of Education
