In every classroom, teachers will handle aspects of the curriculum by content, how students process, and the output to showcase their learning (Tomlinson, 2017). Technology is an excellent tool for incorporating and supporting these changes. When teachers differentiate learning, they proactively meet the needs of all learners in the classroom (Tomlinson, 2017). These strategies enhance student interest and engagement. Seesaw is an online portfolio that allows students to submit work and communicate with their teacher. Teachers can create assignments catering to their students' needs and learning styles. They can either create their assignments or choose from a selection of assignments created by other teachers at the same grade level (Accessibility and Seesaw – Seesaw Help Center, n.d.). This flexibility allows teachers to customize assignments to meet the specific needs of each student. Each assignment may include a variety of tasks, such as watching videos, typing words, creating videos, recording voices, drawing, and more, to accommodate different learning styles. It is important to consider learning differences and cultural backgrounds when designing instruction to ensure engagement for students with diverse learning preferences and to leverage their existing knowledge and experiences as a valuable resource (Tomlinson, 2017). One effective instructional strategy for utilizing Seesaw is to combine its use with face-to-face lessons, promoting deeper understanding and active learning.

Nearpod is an innovative tool that enables educators to personalize learning experiences for every student. This user-friendly platform can be accessed through computers or tablets, making it accessible and versatile. With Nearpod, teachers can utilize prebuilt lessons and customize them to cater to the specific needs of their classrooms. One of the standout features of Nearpod is its ability to facilitate various assessment activities. Teachers can engage students through polls, quizzes, open-ended questions, drawing activities, typing exercises, sorting tasks, and collaborative boards (Simpson et al., 2023). Additionally, Nearpod offers virtual reality simulations, built-in learning videos, and many other interactive tools. For students who struggle with reading, Nearpod has a text-to-speech feature that reads questions aloud. Teachers can provide real-time feedback or anonymously share student progress on their peers' screens, creating an engaging and collaborative learning environment. Unlike traditional methods, Nearpod allows educators to both teach full lessons and provide independent assessment opportunities for students. Students can work at their own pace without feeling rushed or waiting for others to finish before moving on to the next concept.. Incorporating Nearpod into your teaching repertoire will revolutionize the way you differentiate instruction and engage students in meaningful learning experiences. Lumio is a versatile online platform that allows you to create hands-on activities for your students. These activities can be completed in a collaborative setting, in small groups, or independently. It functions like a Smart Suite technology board, but with the added convenience

of being entirely online. In Lumio, you can integrate built-in manipulatives that span across all subject areas. For example, If you are short on math manipulatives, you can use Lumio for differentiation for students who are still in the pictorial phase. Additionally, there is a library of ready-to-go lessons that are engaging and accessible when you log in. Creating Ownership with Students All three applications work well in promoting students' self-learning and accountability. The two that work best for assessments are Nearpod and Seesaw. In Nearpod, reports are generated, and the student's responses can be printed and shared with parents or support staff. In Seesaw, parents, co-teachers, and administration can have access to your account and view the progress of the students. When students know that their parents can see their work, they will work harder. References: Accessibility and Seesaw – Seesaw Help Center. (n.d.).
