    It takes a giant leap of faith for a teacher to think that their students can learn the material on their own. Teachers become teachers to teach. It is natural for the teacher to want to force the student to learn. But, this is similar to trying to force the proverbial horse to drink. Think about how many video games people have learned and won, on their own! No one had to "teach" them how; no one had to force them to play.

    "From role-playing games for students to parent seminars, teaching social and emotional learning requires a lot of moving parts, but when all the pieces come together such instruction can rival the effectiveness of purely academic interventions to boost student achievement, according to the largest analysis of such programs to date."

    I nod in agreement with many of these ideas. Yes, we are living in an intensely stimulating world. Yes, students must own their own learning. Yes, learning is more than recall. Yes, we must make real-world links. Yes, yes, yes! But how, how, how in class sizes that are upward of 27 students? How can I stay current and interesting and relevant? How do I engage this new breed of techno-savvy, overstimulated youngsters who are bored to distraction in school? This is what I think about in August.

    Students can access websites that do not contain or that filter mature content. They can use their real names, pictures, and work (as long it doesn't have a grade/score from a school) with the notification and/or permission of the student and their parent or guardian.

    In general, I think that different approaches for that situation may be a safer bet.  Such approaches include lesson planning which create tasks with access points for students at all levels, or structuring group-work and assigning status such that all students know they have skills to help others as well as something to learn from others.

    Life in the 21st century provides a whole-new world of opportunities for self-directed, passion-driven, personalized learning.  Educators who are ready to move on from teaching the way they were taught, and administrators who will let them, can begin supporting students using tools and strategies available to the 21st century learner.

    Virtual field trips challenge and expose students to new types of technology. It is a great way to spark their interest and motivate their learning in a specific content area. Virtual field trips can offer students more opportunities because you can take them to places they wouldn't normally be able to go.

    Recently I've come to the idea that the question "how do you differentiate?" is the wrong question to ask (or at least coming in the wrong sequence). The essential question should be "what do you differentiate?" By differentiating instruction I am changing something for some group of students. To do this I have to ask myself "what can I change and what do I need to keep the same?" What follows are three cases of differentiation, all of which change a different facet of learning.
