One strategy I've found helpful is using technology to facilitate differentiation . For example, using online resources that offer leveled texts, interactive quizzes, or adaptive assessments can help cater to different learning needs. What are your thoughts on incorporating technology into differentiation strategies?

@Sanaa Allow students to choose how they want to present their understanding:
Poster or infographic
Written report or poem
Oral presentation or recorded video
Role play, skit, or puppet show
Art (drawing, painting, model)
Digital tools (slides, podcasts, animations)

@Sanaa Rubrics with Flexible Criteria
Use differentiated rubrics that assess core learning but allow for creativity and multiple formats.
Focus on understanding and expression — not just the medium. A poem or a podcast can be assessed with the same rubric if they reflect the learning goals

@Hiba-khan Let students work on long-term projects that relate to real-world problems, with differentiated roles, goals, and formats.
Example: In a social studies unit, students could create a community improvement plan — some might conduct surveys, others might build models, and others might write persuasive letters.
