How does software differentiate instruction for different learning styles?

By using computer software students with different learning styles can work on improving their problem-solving abilities at their own pace. Students can use different strategies, but must apply their problem-solving skills in ordert to get full advantage of the software. Students with visual or auditory impairments can use technology to their advantage as well. They can use the software as an aid, for example to use of technology the translates the information into spoken word or visual text.
Software can always be used to assist students with advanced-learning. They can use certain software programs to challenge their cognitive thinking, and "out their thinking caps on."




I have attached two videos. Both showing different ways technology and software can be used as computer assisted instruction.
Video one displays how SMART notebook software can allow students to work in their own way, and gives simple instruction on and ideas on how to use it.


Video two is slightly lengthy, but is simply displays how technology and software could be used for notes in class, and as instruction for a lesson on the human endocrine system.
