3 Ways to Plan for Diverse Learners: What Teachers Do | Edutopia - 0 views

  • Differentiating content includes using various delivery formats such as video, readings, lectures, or audio. Content may be chunked, shared through graphic organizers, addressed through jigsaw groups, or used to provide different techniques for solving equations.
  • Process is how students make sense of the content. They need time to reflect and digest the learning activities before moving on to the next segment of a lesson.
  • Processing helps students assess what they do and don't understand. It's also a formative assessment opportunity for teachers to monitor students' progress.

  • For example, having one or two processing experiences for every 30 minutes of instruction alleviates feelings of content saturation.
  • The key to product options is having clear academic criteria that students understand. When products are cleanly aligned to learning targets, student voice and choice flourish, while ensuring that significant content is addressed.
  •  
    This article offers three ways for diversifying teaching: content, process and product. The author offers up definitions and ideas in each of the three categories to meet student needs.

  • myBrainshark (1) is a superb tool that allows students to add a voiceover to PowerPoint presentations, Word documents, videos, and photo albums -- or to simply produce podcasts

  • PosterMyWall (4) is a fantastic tool for creating artistic, high-quality posters (5), collages, photo calendars and/or photo cards that can either be shared online or printed out and inexpensively shipped home.
  • PosterMyWall is slightly restricted in terms of the amount of options available for customization (mostly pictures and text), but other services, such as Glogster (6), offer a wider range of options.

      But Glogster is very glitchy
  • Screencast-o-matic (7) is a powerful screen recorder that allows users to capture anything (8) happening on their screen, as well as voice and video from the webcam for up to 15 minutes in the recorder's free version.
  • Some high-quality alternatives to Screencast-o-matic are Jing (9) and Ezvid (10), both of which are very powerful and offer unique features.
  • Padlet (11) is another free program that facilitates the creation of virtual walls (12) where students and teachers can post sticky notes with almost anything they want.

  • Evernote doesn't give teachers any way to moderate its use by students.
  • Evernote isn't publicly viewable, either.
  • what Three Ring offers that Evernote doesn't is teacher-created class accounts. In other words, teachers initiate the use of Three Ring in the classroom by creating classrooms within the teacher account and adding students to each class
  • Three Ring
  • students can create and upload content from their own devices and tag, search and share their portfolios
  • Three Ring even allows parents to view their students' accounts once linked by the teacher
  • This is the effect of good portfolios. They craft a narrative of learning, growth and achievement over time.
  • If your school is fueled by Google Apps for Education, then using Google Sites (3) to create student portfolios, or "Googlios," makes perfect sense.
