Abstract
This paper is a discussion of technology and teachers preparation about classroom management, differentiation
and inclusion. Nowadays the role of teaching and educating the youth has become more difficult than in the
past [1]. In the classroom there are present students with different approaches to learning, but also students
with disabilities and/or students with specific learning disabilities and they need a specific approach to have a
good experience at school. The role of teachers is central to promote well-being in the classroom for all
students, included those with disabilities. Every student needs a teacher who understands the power of
Universal Design for Learning and Differentiation and manages the classroom according to the guidelines
allowing inclusion for everyone. Technology can support teachers to teach more inclusively and is an essential
tool for students to learn in a more effective way. This is mainly true when technology solutions allow to
personalize the approach to learning and therefore to make the learning experience more interactive and
immersive. When students are more engaged, in fact, they are more motivated and they perform better. The
following two Apps can support teachers in classroom management and create a better learning context for all
students: Classroom App and iNclusion App.
