Differentiation is a term that is often used but explained little in education. With the need for teachers to provide one year of learning for each student differentiation must be employed. But what does differentiation look like in today's classroom?

This podcast first focuses on the "Look Fors" of differentiation and their practical application in the classroom (0:00-17:00). I will be speaking with Tif Mulally, technology coordinator at Wilkes Univeristy, about the benefits of using technology to differentiate instruction (17:01-23:57) as well as how technology can be used to create an inviting classroom atmosphere(23:58-26:52), high quality curriculum (26:53-37:39), feedback on formative assessment (37:40-40:10), purposeful grouping (40:11-42:29)and authentic performance tasks (42:30-47:55).
