Life in the 21st century provides a whole-new world of opportunities for self-directed, passion-driven, personalized learning.

My favorite vocabulary assessment involved discussion. This is one of the reasons it was different but another is that the discussion was one on one -the student and I had a 3-5 minute uninterrupted conversation

Daniel Simons has become one of the most influential young cognitive scientists in the last decade, co-authoring smash-hit studies in two different fields. His videos would be useful as openers for educators to discuss perceptions vs. reality as we do data analysis.

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.
