In conclusion, integrating communication technology, differentiating instruction, and transforming writing with technology are all ways in which teachers can accommodate and adapt to the different needs that are present in the classroom. By using wikis and blogs, we can make discussions interesting, and students will be able to learn from their peers and from personal experience rather than from a lecture. Differentiated instruction presents the information in diverse ways that allow students to explore and learn in their own learning preference. Finally, writing tends to be a least-favorite activity among students of all ages, but if the writing process is implemented and mixed with technology and collaborative efforts, writing can be enjoyable! Our goal as teachers should be to make learning a fun and memorable experience for our students while also bettering their academic performance, and these are definitely great methods to use in the classroom. I can't wait to get started!
