 Google Classroom allows teachers to create multiple classes, each with its customized content, assignments, and assessments. Teachers can differentiate instruction by assigning individualized tasks to students based on their learning needs, abilities, and interests. The platform also offers real-time communication and feedback, making it easier for teachers to support students during their learning process.  Additionally, Google Classroom supports integration with a wide range of educational tools and applications, further expanding the possibilities for differentiation. 

Edmodo is a social learning platform that helps teachers differentiate instruction by offering various tools to create and deliver engaging content. Teachers can use the platform's features, like quizzes, polls, and assignments, to assess and address the unique learning needs of each student. The platform also provides a space for student collaboration and interaction, which can be leveraged for group activities and peer support.

 Kahoot! is an interactive game-based learning platform that allows teachers to create quizzes, discussions, and surveys to engage students with varying abilities. The platform's gamification aspect encourages  friendly competition, which can be motivating for all students. Teachers can create differentiated content by adjusting the difficulty level,  question types, and time limits to cater to the diverse needs of their students. 

 In synchronous and asynchronous settings, teachers can provide tiered assignments with varying levels of complexity or challenge based on students' abilities. This ensures that all students can engage with the material at their own level and pace. 

 Teachers can create temporary groups of students with similar needs,  interests, or abilities to work on specific skills or topics. These groups can be formed for synchronous activities, like video call discussions, or asynchronous tasks, such as collaborative projects or discussion boards. 

 Choice boards provide students with various learning activities, allowing them to pursue their interests and learning  preferences. Teachers can create choice boards with activities tailored to different skill levels and learning styles, suitable for both synchronous and asynchronous environments. 

 Breaking down complex tasks into smaller, manageable steps can help students who require modifications and accommodations. This can be done through modeling, guided practice, or additional support materials in synchronous and asynchronous settings. 

 Offering content in various formats (text, video, audio, etc.) cater to different learning styles and preferences. Teachers can create differentiated learning experiences by incorporating multimedia resources in their online instruction.
