Resources, Strategies, Tools, and Ideas for Differentiated Instruction

As we have discussed throughout this course, differentiated instruction requires a good amount of time to gather, organize and create materials. The technological resources and diverse teaching ideas shared in our Differentiation Station Assignments will be useful to learn and to create materials, tasks and lesson plans for our students.

As we approach the end of our course, it is time to continue experimenting with the processes, the benefits and also the challenges of using technological resources for differentiated instruction. With the newly acquired knowledge of UDL, I have developed several strategies for student learning activities, among these I will mention project work with which students perform research of real-world problems and use submit their findings through oral and written presentations and share what they have learned. In cooperative efforts, students coordinate and arrange information to identify the varied relationships across disciplines. Through web quests students can research and accomplish tasks to learn through authentic information from around the word.

As I continue experimenting within my language classroom, I will constantly be on the look-out for new ideas for activities that can be adapted to meet the needs of diverse learners.
