Reflection Class 6714

The Differentiated Station social networking produced a few websites that I need to further investigate. There were a number of suggestions that would fit well into my classroom. One was tiered lesson plans. Certain groups of students will work on one type of assignment while others work on a different assignment but that produces a similar product of knowledge. Testing of students will also depend on student readiness and will be adjusted accordingly.

For Universal Design for Learning, I felt it was something I had done to accommodate students for years. Upon further investigation I think that I could do a better job with students by dealing with the learning differences and not trying to remediate the student. Also implementing more virtual field trips and videos would help the students who struggle with a textbook. The use of blogs and wiki’s tend to give students who do not participate well in class, more of a voice in their work.
I need to make sure that my students have a variety of projects to choose from to facilitate their learning styles. I haven’t always done this and need to rectify the situation immediately.
