My understanding of differentiation is that every person is different and that they will all learn in different ways. Because of this, teachers need to differentiate in the classroom. I understand that to differentiate a classroom, a teacher needs to provide the students with options. Creating lessons that involve different ways to achieve the common goal are key to a successful and fair classroom.
A typical classroom will be very diverse. I realized this through my experiences with the students I chose for my classroom. All three of my students were completely different. I had to accommodate for each one's weaknesses. I was forced to differentiate my classroom in order for my students to succeed. I must allow different ways and options for everyone to understand material.
Teachers could use technology to help differentiate in the classroom. Students have different learning styles and technology could be a ways for some students to benefit in learning. Through technology there are so many different tools, so a lesson could be differentiated by taking advantage of these options.
