This Prezi presentation shows how student input transformed their library from boring one-size-fits-all to a flexible space that works for kids.

These free tools remove the obstacles to learning for all students and offer opportunities for struggling learners that promote academic success. When material is digital or electronic, it is flexible and accessible. It is our responsibility as educators to provide materials that promote success. Please encourage all educators to consider using these free tools.

Nice description and photos of how one teacher is using the Picture Word Induction Method in her primary classroom. PWIM posters have long been used in my district and a few teachers are beginning to use them on a SMARTBoard but I haven't seen anything written up.

Powerful inquiry-type activity that lends itself naturally to differentiation as students can participate in a variety of levels.

Maureen LaFleche spotted this great resource and here's what she has to say about it "Check out CK-12.org. It is a website that provides open-source content and technology tools to help teachers provide learning opportunities for students globally. Free access to high-quality, customizable educational content in multiple modalities suited to multiple student learning styles and levels, will allow teachers, students and others to innovate and experiment with new models of learning. CK-12 helps students and teachers alike by enabling rapid customization and experimentation of teaching and learning styles. Text can be read at two different levels - grade level and basic. You can download books and activities as pdf, epub or mobi." I have checked out several of the units and they look excellent for middle and high school.
