Technology integration in schools can be done easily. Existing lessons can be modified to allow for the incorporation of technology. Differentiation is the difficult part when planning lessons. Since differentiation is much more difficult than the technology aspect, there are differentiation sites listed below for reference. Incorporate technology into these lessons using one of the Tech Tools for Differentiation listed on that page of this wiki.
What to include in a differentiated instruction technology lesson plan:
When thinking about creating lesson plans that are both differentiated and technology-driven, there are a few considerations to keep in mind. The typical features of most formal lesson plans are: grade level, standard, materials, and procedure. These typical features should be included in technology-driven differentiated lesson plans as well. A technology-driven differentiated lesson plan should include a few other areas, though. For our purposes, a technology-driven lesson plan should include the form of technology being used. This could be included in the materials or listed separately as to explain how the technology will be used or notes on how to access it. The teacher should also have a rationale for use of this technology and how that technology links to the lesson at hand. Any standard can be used for the grade level, but the technology should fit the purpose! Any differentiated lesson also names the different leveled groups in the class, the direct needs of the students in each group (as they pertain to the lesson), and how those needs will be met during the lesson (including the technology that will be used to meet the needs of the students).
