    Task cards and technology can be used to differentiate instruction in a student-centered classroom. A student-centered classroom engages students through active learning and allows them to work at their own pace. Technology such as PowerPoint, blogs, and collaborative tools can be used to reach visual learners and motivate students. These tools also allow students to work independently and coach each other. While student-centered learning welcomes different learning styles, it may be challenging for teachers to implement and ensure all students succeed. Overall, technology enhances the learning experience for students of all types when used to create a student-centered environment.

    Differentiating Instruction through Technology
    Student Centered Technology
    A student-centered classroom is where students take the initiative to work without the
    direct supervision from the teacher. Technology plays an important part in a student-centered
    classroom because it reaches, motivates, teaches and engages students to create an active
    learning environment. It fosters differentiation of instruction by allowing students to express
    their different views and learning styles.
    Technology to Differentiate Instruction
    PowerPoint:
    PowerPoints can be used to capture the visual learners in a classroom. They learn by
    seeing. With all the different possibilities in creating an engaging presentation, students are
    exposed to many opportunities to be creative in how and what they turn in as their assignment.
    Web Blogs:
    Blogs can be useful because it can be something as simple as posting a message on the
    site to remind parents of a due date. Not only can the teacher post information, but students and
    parents may comment as well. This tool has a great impact on student achievement because it
    provides the students with the necessary resources for success and there is no excuse why they
    cannot complete all assignments and turn in on time. Blogs can provide all of this information
    and more. This tool is student centered because they do not need a teacher standing over them
    watching as they complete the assignment.
    Collaborative resources:
    Collaborative resources can be used to differentiate instructions by allowing students the
    opportunity to coach each other. They also allow them to work in groups and the teacher can

    observe their interaction and see who the leaders are as well as the followers. This will give you,
    as a teacher, an idea on where the students strengths and weaknesses are so that lesson plans and
    curriculums can be prepared.
    Pros and Cons
    With all learning techniques there are advantages and disadvantages. One major
    advantage in a student centered classroom is that all learning styles are welcomed. This could
    become an issue because students can get accustomed to the individuality in one class but have
    difficulty in another class where the learning environment is teacher led. It allows teachers to be
    creative in their curriculum and lesson planning but can be a challenge to a new teacher who has
    not developed the proper techniques to ensure that all students are successful.
    Conclusion
    Allowing technology to create a student centered classroom enhances the learning
    experiment for all types of learning.
