Disc Week 5: Using Technology to Differentiate
ISTE-E 5.a. Use technology to create, adapt, and personalize learning experiences that foster independent learning and accommodate learner variability.
This week’s focus is on creating digital age learning experiences. 21st century teachers are expected to provide personalized instruction tailored to meet students’ needs. While there’s no doubt that teachers do this every day with few resources, technology makes differentiating learning experiences much easier!
For this discussion, share your favorite way to use technology to differentiate. Walk us through the process (a specific example is usually the most helpful!), discuss the digital tool(s), and the differentiated learning experiences. Using Technology to Differentiate Week 5 Discussion
If you are NOT currently using technology to differentiate instruction, draw from this week’s Readings & Resources to create a plan for doing so. Share your ideas, information about your learners, and ask us questions so we can help you get on your way!

1/ My favorite way to differentiate using technology is simply using Google Docs. It seems basic, but there are so many ways for students to practice, collaborate, and complete work! I teach Dual Language (50/50 English-Spanish), and this year most of our students are native Spanish speakers. This sometimes makes it tricky for them to do writing assignments.
Here are some ways that I use Docs to differentiate for my students:
All students put Docs in a folder that we create together during the first week of school. At that time, they share this folder with me, as well, so I have access to all the work they put there. This has helped tremendously with technical difficulties when submitting work into Canvas.
If a student struggles with spelling or typing, they can use the voice-to-text feature. This has been especially useful for a few of my students who have a hard time staying focused. Being “allowed” to talk really helps them get their thoughts on paper.
If a student has a hard time getting started, I can collaborate with them on their Doc from anywhere in the room. They know how to share their Drive folder with me, use the commenting feature, and edit/revise as we work through it.
For my higher-ability students, they can start “worrying about” fixing the grammar and convention mistakes that are underlined in brown (oftentimes Clarity and Convention). My other students need only to worry about fixing the things underlined in red (spelling).
I also have higher-ability students collaborate with each other to revise and edit. They like to share their Docs with each other and make constructive comments on things to improve.
All in all, Google Docs has drastically changed the way I teach writing and the way that students learn and practice writing. In some ways I miss having students hand-write things, but Docs makes it so easy to help everyone be successful that I would never give it up willingly
