Session 1 differentiation and it

Where have we come from? "Differentiation is the process of recognizing and providing instruction for students who learn in different ways, at different rates and who bring to school different talents and interests." (Tomlinson, 1999) Focus was on tiering amongst others

Melbourne Declaration In the preamble on pg 4, Rapid and continuing advances in information and communication technologies (ICT) are changing the ways people share, use, develop and process information and technology. In this digital age, young people need to be highly skilled in the use of ICT. While schools already employ these technologies in learning, there is a need to increase their effectiveness significantly over the next decade.

Melbourne Declaration Goal 2: All young Australians become successful learners, confident and creative individuals, and active and informed citizens have the essential skills in literacy and numeracy and are creative and productive users of technology, especially ICT, as a foundation for success in all learning areas are responsible global and local citizens. As a foundation for further learning and adult life the curriculum will include practical knowledge and skills development in areas such as ICT and design and technology, which are central to Australia’s skilled economy and provide crucial pathways to post-school success. p13

Teaching learning framework

Differentiation is essential in ensuring that all learners are adequately challenged and make continuous progress – including gifted students. A differentiated classroom offers multiple ways for all students to access content, to process and make sense of the concepts and skills, and to develop products that demonstrate their learning (Tomlinson, 2001) at an appropriate level. Technology supports classroom strategies by creating new routes to learning, addressing multiple learning needs, and providing forums for individualized access to content. Also, 21 st century learning tools offer a variety of means of expression and endless opportunities for students to collaborate with intellectual peers.

What is elearning Elearning is the use of technology to support learning. This may include a fully online course or online communication to support students, and many variations in between. Elearning can also include the use of multimedia available on CD-Rom plus the use of communication tools elearning and collaboration. Many elearning solutions use a blended approach where face-to-face interaction and online tools are combined to suit the context. This can be very effective for increased discussion or information access. Taken from TAFE Tasmania
