Differentiation & Specialisation
Competent Digital Educators use digital technologies to address learners’ diverse learning needs, by allowing learners to advance at different levels and speeds, and to follow individual learning pathways and objectives.
Typical activities
They use digital technologies to address the special needs of individual learners (e.g. dyslexia, ADHD, overachievers).
They allow for different learning pathways, levels and speeds when designing, selecting and implementing digital learning activities.
They devise individual learning plans and use digital technologies to support these.
When mastering this competence by doing the work in the lab, you should be able to say:
I am aware that digital technologies can support differentiation and personalisation, e.g. by providing activities at different levels and speeds.
I select and use some learning activities, e.g. quizzes or games, that allow learners to proceed at different speeds, select different levels of difficulty and/or repeat activities previously not solved adequately.
When designing learning and assessment activities, I use a range of different digital technologies, which I adapt and adjust to account for different needs, levels, speeds and preferences. When sequencing and implementing learning activities, I allow for different learning pathways, levels and speeds and flexibly adapt my strategies to changing circumstances or needs.
In the lab we will also:
Learn to design, in collaboration with learners and/or parents, personalised learning plans which allow all learners to follow their individual learning needs and preferences, with the aid of appropriate digital resources.
Reflect on how effectively the teaching strategies employed foster differentiation and personalisation and adapt our teaching strategies and digital activities accordingly.
