Mr. Matthew Lynch has done it again. The original article allows one to consider how artificial intelligence can be useful in differentiated instruction. The article particularly discusses how artificial intelligence can meet the needs of k-12 students, higher education students, and how edtech companies can fulfill the needs for artificial intelligence.
Imagine being able to use the same academic program to meet the needs of students who function at lower levels, all the way to students who might need to be challenged at above grade level. Personally, I have seen a math program called V-Math that helps students at various educational levels reach the same goal. I saw great success with the program. My only concern with artificial intelligence programs is trying to understand how it might help all performance programs. In my classroom, students would be required to type their responses for keyboarding classes. These responses would provide good practice skills.

This week google search provided use of another technology tool that provides differentiated instruction. Achieve3000 allows students to locate interesting nonfiction reading and writing material based on the students reading level and interest. One challenge that I could see during lesson planning would be justifying the use of a literacy tool for a keyboarding class. however, literacy should be considered as essential in every subject.
