This document discusses using information and communication technologies (ICT) to support differentiation in the classroom. It defines differentiated curriculum as teaching adapted to individual student differences and needs. ICT can promote active engagement, vary teaching methods, and motivate students. The SAMR model and Bloom's Digital Taxonomy are frameworks for integrating technology in ways that enhance or transform learning. A variety of ICT tools are presented for teachers and students, including interactive whiteboards, mind mapping software, screen capturing, websites, presentations, videos, and social networking to support differentiation.
