3. But first,
let’s differentiate!

4. Participant Polling
• Educational Role
• Experience with Differentiated Instruction
• Combined Use of Tech and D.I.

5. Goals
• Differentiate Student Use of Technology
• Use Technology to Differentiate Instruction
• Combine Tech & DI via Challenge-Based Learning

13. Differentiation

14. What color is this?

15. What colors do you see here?

16. Do you see more colors now?

17. How about now?

18. Consider...
What are the attributes
of a “digital native?”
Do all your students fit the
profile of a digital native?

19. ACOT Stages of Adoption
• Entry – little to no use
• Adoption – minimal productivity use
• Adaptation – productivity use embraced
• Appropriation – full adoption
• Invention – new uses; share/teach others

20. Concerns-Based
Adoption Model (CBAM)
• Non-Use, Orientation, Preparation
- need direction and support
• Mechanical, Routine
- confident use
• Refinement, Integration, Renewal
- expanding into more sophisticated uses

21. Rogers’ Adoption of
Innovation
• Innovators – always on cutting edge
• Early Adopters
• Early Majority
• Late Majority
• Laggards – resistance; avoidance

22. Your Turn...
How do your students differ in the ways
they use and think about technology?
How does relative access
impact where we find students?
What does this imply for classroom technology use?
How can we differentiate the use of technology?

23. Using Technology
to
Differentiate Instruction

28. Your Turn...
How else can we use
technology to help
differentiate instruction?

55. Your Turn...
Will the professional
development need for
technology every abate?

56. Still Your Turn...
Will there be a time
when all teachers are
comfortable and
confident using digital
tools for learning?

57. Re-Cap
• Differentiate Student Use of Technology
• Use Technology to Differentiate Instruction
• Combine Tech & DI via Challenge-Based Learning
• Differentiate PD for Technology
