Nowadays, it is widely realized and accepted that both of the concepts of differentiated instruction and the educational use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) are necessary for the modern educational practice and for that reason the present dissertation focuses on linking these two issues. The purpose of this research is to study educators’ views on the use of ICT to differentiate their instruction and explore their extent of ICT use.
