gClassFolders is a tool that allows for management of all the files that students share with teachers and allows for sharing easily with students. The setup is straight forward and sets up three folders for students for a class - Edit, Preview(Read Only) and Dropbox to turn work in.

Excellent podcast series to learn about the "history of white people" and how race was actively constructed to create our current context. Thanks to Gwen at the Drury Lane Bookstore in Grand Marais for turning me on to this! Very accessible -- although trigger warning content is very disturbing. Preview if you teach younger students.

"Let's start by agreeing that scaffolding a lesson and differentiating instruction are two different things. Scaffolding is breaking up the learning into chunks and then providing a tool, or structure, with each chunk. When scaffolding reading, for example, you might preview the text and discuss key vocabulary, or chunk the text and read and discuss as you go. With differentiation, you may give a child an entirely different piece of text to read, you might shorten the text or alter it, and you may modify the writing assignment that follows."
