Section Four: Distinguishing Instructions through Technology

Introduction
A variation of technology combined during instruction assists in consulting the growing
demands of the scholar populations. For instance each scholar progresses and develops at
dissimilar rates, knowledge too profits places at dissimilar promptness. Technology creates
possibities to step lessons properly though obliging the knowledgeable level of every single
scholar. Educators use various technologies in classrooms to aid distinguish instruction, one that
is used is Socrative, Prezi, and Evernote (Ensor, 2012).

Technology to Differentiate Instruction

Name of Technology Tool: Socrative
Socrative, a very beneficial device, educators use to aid distinguish knowledge in any
classroom. Socrative is a free, student response system that allows teachers to collect answers
from students via the web (Mendez, 2013). Socrative benefits by saving educators times
therefore the classroom can additionally deliberate, work together, and produce as a full.
Socrative is a clever scholar reply method that permits educators to accumulate information from
scholars through the procedure of smart phones, laptop and tablets. Socrative is too useful
applications that aids educators interaction with scholars, increasing classroom engagements,
and using live information to notify instructions. Useful applications will support in gathering
instant responses that will aid teachers to evaluate scholars improvements. With instant test
results, teachers can view the entire class level of understanding and find areas where students
need additional help. Socrative has proven to be very useful to students as it allows students to
see what areas they are struggling with and what they need to improve on (Mendez, 2013, page
18).
ISTE Standards
The ISTE standard goes side by side using Socrative. Each system operates from end to
end using technology which improves students accomplishment in the class. ISTE for scholars is
directed to creativeness and teamwork. Similarly, Socrative is intended for allowing scholars to
cooperate in classrooms and increase scholar engagements. The ISTE standard encourages a
student to habit problematic resolving abilities though knowledge to making vital conclusions
(ISTE, 2016)
Name of Technology Tool: Prezi

Prezi is an abundant tool that educators use to distinguish knowledge in a classroom. Prezi is a
presentation tool that is used to allow users to zoom from different documents, images, and
points during presentation (Sawari, 2015). As an alternative to generating photographs,
consumers have images that allow them to enhance hyperlink, video, image, and texts with a
zoom feature. Recently more features allow educators to import Power Point demonstrations to
Prezi. Prezi is a precise device that scholars use throughout presentations and educators use all
through instruction. Though, scholars older then thirteen are permitted to registering their
personal account, by parent consents every user is permitted to using Prezi. Prezi provides
scholars chances for exploring philosophies by permitting them to seeing the larger image by
concentrating on precise information. Educators use Prezi in the classroom to aid distinguished
knowledge by the use of Prezi through interactive white boards to generate stimulating and
collaborative demonstrations by touch navigations. Prezi is valuable to scholars academic
achievements too. Prezi has structures that allow scholars to accessing and navigating
demonstrations at home, and see altered influences, philosophies, and pictorial concepts. Prezi
permits scholars in community and working with extras in classroom settings or by home.
ISTE Standards:
Prezi works hand and hand with ISTE standards. Like Prezi, ISTE standards allow students to be
creative by demonstrating creativity through the usage of knowledge gained from lecture. The
ISTE standard allows students to apply their knowledge of lecture through text, and images and
by applying existing knowledge to generated products, ideas, or processes (ISTE, 2016).
Pros and Cons (150-250 words)
The profits of distinguishing technology in a classroom is typically complemented by
more or less problems. Researchers have shown distinguished instructions are actual for scholars

with major to minor capabilities and for scholars with great-aptitude (Ensor, 2012). Pros of the
use of technology to distinguish knowledge information is a less disciplined problem in any
classroom, and that scholars are more involved and stimulated about education. Too when
scholars are acknowledged more on selections on in what way they can absorb resources, they
yield more responsibilities for their personal learnings. More or less disadvantages to by
technology to distinguish knowledge are distinguished instructions require extra effort during
lesson development, and several educators struggle to finding the additional times in their
schedules to do so. Furthermore, not every school has a resource obtainable in purchasing
technology.

Name of Technology Tool: Evernote

In addition, Evernote is one more presentation tool that is used by educators to aid distinguished
knowledge. The situations practicality ranges from taking instant feedback to distributing
wonderful lessons to scholars. Evernote has allowed educators to sharing transcripts with the
classroom. This is obliging since the whole thing was educated in classes and observed by
scholars. Evernote helps educators stay systematized through a feature that helps educators to
placing every lesson in a label file that is then filed away and simply be found. Evernote too aids
educators to taking an instant shot of the lesson in advance or after class to share with scholars
that have been inattentive for that day. Also, Evernote permits educators to scanning all graded
test, which later will be added in grading books or spreadsheets when the times are obtainable.
Evernote has assisted scholars to staying structured in the classroom with placing all schools
resources, and records in specific files. Evernote aids scholars to presenting all work in a

consistent, organized technique by permitting educators to observe all scholars work in mutual
notebooks. Evernote too offers parents a clear indication for each youngsters development.

ISTE Standards
ISTE is used in helping educators and scholars stay structured by the use of techniques
comparable to Evernote. Similar to Evernote scholars collect resources and data for investigation
that will later be used. Meanwhile ISTE standard is used to transforming the classroom by using
different procedures that are used in helping scholars understand resources in classroom.
Evernote has assisted every student to succeeding in a similar method. Scholars can constantly
plan ahead and view lessons online through the use of Evernote, which can be used through the
same process as ISTE.

Concluding Paragraph
In conclusion, technology is the means to the forthcoming for minds in future generations.
Technologys tool will lengthen knowledge in great techniques when productively combined into
the curriculums. Technology is held to aiding educators and scholars with techniques to work
together, ways to admittance current main source materials, and a chance for educators to direct
their understandings. This is accomplished through text, images, authentic assessment, and
relevant learning.
