The use of individualized computer-based learning is a detrimental element within the 90 minute learning block. Through computer-based learning within the differentiated instructional block, students receive one-on-one instruction catered to their cognitive abilities. All students are provided 20 minutes of small group instruction on the computer. Research has proven that groups limited to six (6) students are more effective, when building student deficiencies and targeting students’ unique learning styles and academic needs.
Through the usage of iPad's and educational mobile apps used to boost achievement, differentiated instruction with a technology component just made teaching easier. The iPad's allow students to engaged in personalized instruction. For example, teachers would put 2–3 students on the iPad, have them take a diagnostic, and then spend 15–20 minutes working with another group of students individually in small groups. Then students would go back to i-Ready to continue instruction and practice on what they learned. Each week students spent approximately an hour using the iPad's during the instructional block.
