Differentiating objectives

This online presentation provides the rationale for differentiating using technology, as well as a multitude of examples that may be used in your classroom.

"Lexile measures are powerful, versatile tools that educators can use to help their students grow as readers. When you use both Lexile reader measures and Lexile text measures, you can treat each student as an individual learner, rather than as below-grade, on-grade or above-grade. Site includes a "find a book" feature which allows you to search a book by title or author and find out the lexile level. There is a conversion chart on the site which will give you a guide to the approximate grade level equivalents as well. Here are some classroom ideas and applications to help you differentiate instruction for all readers in various situations."

Finally, a practical way to DIFFERENTIATE INSTRUCTION for SECONDARY classrooms! (as well as elementary)

Within the four ways for differentiating instruction there are embedded several other learning strategies which are used in conjunction with each other.

Internet 4 Classrooms page that presents tips, instructional theories, research, and sample units on differentiated instruction.

"Learning Focused Schools practices are assisting teachers with developing and implementing "Best Practice" however, the effective integration of the latest 21st Century tools and strategies is also necessary to develop highly differentiated instructional practices. These strategies will assist students with not only core content area proficiency but also 21st Century skills and NETS proficiencies. This page offers many ideas and practical application of LFS and effective 21st Century instructional technology strategies."

My colleagues and I have used this many of times.

Lots of good suggestions for a differentiated project to go along with Catcher in the Rye.

The Khan Academy is a not-for-profit organization with the mission of providing a high quality education to anyone, anywhere. We have 700+ videos on YouTube covering everything from basic arithmetic and algebra to differential equations, physics, and finance which have been recorded by Salman Khan. He has also developed a free, adaptive math program available here.

This test is an outstanding resource for determining learning styles for differentiated instruction. After the test is completed, a color pie chart is printed to show learning styles.

But the No. 1 challenge in ed tech, according to the report, is with teachers themselves and the inadequacy of their preparation and ongoing training.

I attended a presentation at the NCTM conference in April about UDL.  It's a new spin on an age-old concept of differentiation and how people learn best.  It's definitely something for me to think about in terms of curriculum, delivery, and assessment.

"These questions have helped me become more reflective with my actions, have allowed me to focus on the teacher I will be coaching, and assist in planning the differentiated, classroom-embedded, technology staff development of which I am an avid proponent."

Good lord, Beth O'Marr demo'd this site and I had a language-gasm! Check this out!!

Drop in a relatively small text (800 words or less), and this little wonder creates graphic organizers, finds vocabulary, builds questions, does pronounciation, prefixes, suffixes.

The purpose of this public wiki is to collect and share resources linking computer and information technology with differentiated instruction.
