Our Purpose Today
Define Differentiated Instruction Review 21st Century Skills Online Science and Math
Strategies Deconstruct Lessons Cool Tools! Discussion/Reflection/Take
Aways
Each Student Is a Unique Learner
Know Your Student
Plan Your Instruction
• Multiple Means of Representation• Multiple Means of Expression• Multiple Means of Engagement

Although there are many different types of triangles, the sum of their angles will always equal
180°.
35° + 90° + 55° = 180°

Math: DifferentiationMultiple modes of representation,
expression and engagement...
– Textbook and itext – animations/videos – Individual access to teacher – webmail, phone, tutoring
sessions – Self-paced lesson guides and
instructions– eTools & Realia: using real
objects for the examples of polygons
– Peer Tutoring

How the technology enables us to teach better than we could without
the technology???
Differentiate with Technology
• Repetition• Individualization• Pace• Multiple representations• Metacognition• Motivation• Interests• Level playing field
• Resource sharing• Collaborative knowledge
construction• Participatory culture• Learning Styles
