Differentiation and Thinklinkr

In last class, we learnt about differentiation in classrooms. Each person in our PLN group has a general definition of differentiation in classes and we all put them onto the brainstorming tool called Thinklinkr. Personally, I think differentiation in classroom means that teacher should be able to provide a variety of tools in lessons for the different needs of each students. Some students may understand in one way some may understand in other ways. Teachers should be able to provide different resource for students to learn, not trying to fit them into the learning system. 
Thinklinkr was very confusing at the beginning... Our PLN group was having a hard time trying to get everyone on and same page and be online at the same time. If the network was slow, two people may end up typing on the same line and one may erase what others were typing. I honestly prefer Scriblink over this tool...At least it is more fun? This tool is more accessible for high school students than elementary students, especially in group projects.
