I talked about Google Forms in general, and gave an example of how you can create a differentiated Google Form using the "Go To Page Based on Answer" option. Many people were interested in this particular Form, so I decided to create a tutorial.

Learners come to our classrooms with unique abilities, interests, and experiences. Teaching the same way to students who do not have the same readiness, motivation, or learning style isn’t going to result in their gaining the same knowledge or skills. You can reach the diverse learners in your classroom with differentiated instruction. ‘I have to teach content to human beings and I have to know those human beings to teach that content well.” —Carol Ann Tomlinson
Differentiated instruction is not a single strategy or formula. It is a way of thinking about the diversity of learners in our classrooms and acting on this knowledge throughout the process of planning, implementing, and evaluating so that we can promote the deepest possible understanding for all students.

For generations, teachers have taught to the average, or perhaps slightly below average, student. This seemed to be the best approach, given that to do anything else would mean leaving the majority of the class behind. Of course, no student is perfectly average, and most students were receiving instruction at a rate too fast or too slow for their unique needs. Differentiated instruction offers a better model: it involves providing instructional materials that are aimed at the specific needs of each student.

In today’s classrooms, teachers are using a variety of teaching strategies in order to accommodate students’ unique learning styles. However, when you have a large classroom of students, it’s tough to be able to keep up with each child’s individual needs. Taking the time to use differentiated instruction so that all learners’ needs are being met, can also take some time.

Shut the Front Door! Yes, You Can Differentiate With Google Forms! This post was inspired by a comment I received during my “Digital Differentiation with Google Apps,” session at the Texas Google Summit in Brenham, Texas. Michael Ogg, aka @PrincipalOgg, shouted, “Shut the front door,” when I showed how to use branching in Google forms. Thanks, Michael for one of the best comments I’ve ever had during a presentation! How to Use Branching in Google Forms: By “branching,” I am referring to the option in Google forms to, “go to page based on answer.” You may or may not have noticed this little check box when creating a Google form. This little box can make a big difference, and can offer ways to use Google forms to differentiate for students. Via WebTeachers

Though the terms "differentiated instruction" and "personalized learning" are often used interchangeably, they truly refer to very different concepts within the classroom.
