1. Visual- Use of pictures, visual aids: power points, illustrated books , charts, diagrams, handouts etc.
2 .Kinesthetic- Learning by experience eg. moving, touching, doing activities like science experiments and projects
3.Auditory- Learning by listening to lectures, tapes, discussions, by listening to tone of voice, pitch and speed and also by reading texts aloud
4.Read and Write- Learning by use of words, taking notes, interpreting concepts and translating concepts words and  writing essays. Also organizing diagrams,charts and graphic organizers into statements.
5. Solitary- Students may prefer to work alone and do self study rather than with others.
6. Group Learning- Working with others helps you to learn and understand better and gives you a sense of belonging to a team.
7. Logical/Mathematical- Learning inferencing, deduction/ induction skills, reasoning and using evidence to support view and sequencing.

The term “learning styles” speaks to the understanding that every student learns differently.  Technically, an individual’s learning style refers to the preferential way in which the student absorbs, processes, comprehends and retains information.
FOR EXAMPLE:
VERBAL - Words are your strong point, you prefer to  use words both in writing and in speech.
VISUAL - Students prefer the use of pictures and diagrams in learning and expression.
MUSICAL/AUDITORY - Students prefer sound and music.
PHYSICAL/KINAESTHETIC - Students utilize body movements, actions, touch and acting in order to learn and express themselves.
LOGICAL/MATHEMATICAL - Students utilize logic, reasoning and sequencing in the learning process.
SOCIAL - Students learn better through group interaction and discussion.
SOLITARY - Students prefer to work alone, utilize self study in the learning process.
COMBINATION - this learner possesses a mixture of multiple learning styles.

What is differentiated instruction?
Differentiated instruction  means that the teacher teaches the same topic or material to all pupils of varying levels but uses a variety of instructional strategies. It may also incorporate delivering a lesson at various levels to meet the challenges/abilities of each of each student.

Examples of Differentiated Instruction
-Grouping students according to similar abilities, interests pertaining to assignments.
-Designing  lessons according to the various learning styles of students based on prior assessment of their learning styles.
-Continuous formative assessment so lessons can be continually adjusted to  meet student's needs.

Three ways to differentiate instruction using ICT
1. Allow students to do level/ similar intelligences group presentations  by using presentation websites such as Prezi, Powtoon  or by creating blogs.
2. Encourage collaboration by using  google docs and prezi.
3. Record pupil's discussion, conversation, peer tutoring sessions or video made tutorials by students to be later reviewed by the teacher.

Three tips for using technology to differentiated learning.
1.Groupng- teacher can place students in groups to focus on specific areas of a topic.
2.Hands on activities- Use technology in a blended manner by allowing hands on activities.That is, to facilitate skill development by using online lessons together with calssroom lectures.
3.Student Helpers- Teachers can train student helpers in the classroom with the use of technology. These students can be called upon to handle printing problems, network issues etc.

Auditory Learners- Using audio music files, youtube, audio software. Students can reproduce sounds or speak into the computer to give responses to teachers. They can create songs to respond to topics and by using virtual programs  they can create their own music.
Visual- Using photo files, downloading photos, maps , satellite pictures, diagrams etc.
Kinesthetic- By using hands to create projects and real life examples or case studies to assist learning concepts. Use real time sites to re do projects or lab experiments and use photos and diagrams to illustrate.
Read and Write-  Using on line blogs, quizzes, journal entries, interpreting charts etc. Students can speak and write their speeches for submission to their teachers eg. whats app or if one is hearing impaired speak into the computer's microphone.
Logical/ Mathematical-  Use computer programs to think in numerical patterns to derive concepts and make connections between various pieces of information.
Solitary- Individual research, record info. using programs available and file according to his preference vs group activity and storing for group members

Multiple intelligence according to Howard Gardner refers to different intellectual ability that each individual possesses.
One common misconception about multiple intelligences is that it means the same thing as learning styles. Instead, multiple intelligences represents different intellectual abilities. Learning styles, according to Howard Gardner, are the ways in which an individual approaches a range of tasks.
INPUT VS OUTPUT.
INPUT - MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCE
OUTPUT - LEARNING STYLE

-What are multiple intelligences?
All humans possess intelligences in varying degrees.
Each intelligence occupy a different area of the brain and learning  can be improved by assessing the students through various intelligence profiles.

- Impact of Multiple Intelligence on Student Learning
Each individual has a different intelligence aptitude so that the teacher can design activities according to each individual's needs. The student can now give responses via his emotional expressive ability or by using his tactile or logical skills to explain his opinion or concepts

- Using technology to meet the student's needs with one or more learning intelligence.
The teacher can design activities according to the intelligences of pupils eg. for visual/spatial intelligence: teachers can use photos, videos, visual metaphors, manipulating of images to facilitate teaching/learning
For bodily/kinesthetic, the  teacher can use dance, physical coordination, acting, miming to create expressions / emotions by using apps on smartphones, tablets

If a student is a visual learner,  the teacher can use pictures, diagrams. The teacher needs to be visible as much as possible.
If a student is an auditory learner, the teacher will focus on lectures and discussions.
If a student is a tactile/kinesthetic learner, the teacher can do projects and experiements with them.
If a student is a verbal learner, teacher can focus on speech and writing

Using various tools and resources   Visual learners: VariQuest , Pinterest, Dragonfly visual learning
Auditory learners: Audio tools  such as Windows Media player to record reading of poetry and listen back to their recordings, taping of lectures/ lessons.
Tactile/ Kinesthetic- programs that allow students to actively create online projects or experiments, using I-Mate PDA phones, iPods, laptops electronic pens, dictonaries, boards. In addition, Nintendo Wii.
Verbal- use of blogs, online journals, online quizzes, word games etc

Teaching methodologies should be suitably matched to students' multiple intelligence, to maximize students' understanding and performance. If these intelligences are not catered to it will have a negative impact on a students' learning experience.

Differentiated instruction refers to instruction which is tailored to meet the individual needs of learners - multiple intelligences and varied academic abilities.
"Differentiating instruction may mean teaching the same material to all students using a variety of instructional strategies, or it may require the teacher to deliver lessons at varying levels of difficulty based on the ability of each student." Carol Ann Tomlinson
