Abstract

The modern classroom reflects growing diversity in learner needs, capacities, and interests, rendering traditional "one-size-fits-all" teaching insufficient. Differentiated instruction (DI), which adapts content, process, products, and environments, addresses this challenge by ensuring equitable access to education. This chapter explores technology’s pivotal role in enhancing DI, identifying key innovations that support diverse learning environments. It evaluates their integration using the SAMR and TPACK frameworks, proposing strategies to maximize their impact. Through current research and practical examples, the chapter illustrates how technology streamlines DI, fosters student autonomy, and strengthens lifelong learning skills. Ultimately, this work underscores technology’s capacity to not only facilitate but also enrich differentiated instructional practices for diverse learners.
