Differentiated Learning

This project provides students with interactive access to the content they are learning on a continual and needs basis.  Students can find the definition and reinforcing images even when they are outside of their classroom completing assignments or studying. In addition, students have opportunities to demonstrate their understanding of content through the use of pictures, charts, graphs and verbal presentations.  This collaboration of skills will be showcased online to reinforce their learning.

Struggling students can have the opportunity to work with peers either in heterogeneous or homogeneous groups, to allow the teacher to scaffold support and intervention. Multimedia word walls can include adding animation and sound clips, utilizing students learning styles and strengths.

For English Language and Dual Language Learners, students can write and speak on the topic in both languages, to reinforce their native language skills while extending their acquisition of their new language.
