What are your overall take-aways from the methods/tools that you might use to differentiate the classroom environment (for teacher productivity and student progression)? Which of these may you use in your classroom in the future?
I have been able to learn about many new technology tools to assist in student differentiation over the past few weeks. I like the program reflection which allows me to reflect the iPad onto the Promethean board which allows students with vision impairment to better see the board. I also want to start using the electronic timers within the classroom to allow for a more portable timer. I also want to use more apps within the classroom with my students. The iPad can be used to track student data through sites such as Confer which allow for a more portable system of taking data. The biggest jump I have made this past few weeks is learning how to use the Promethean Board in my classroom. I was just given a board, and I have spent a great deal of time learning how to make flip charts with Activeinspire. The students love the interaction of the board. It has been fun to see how motivated they are to do the same activities that we did before with the added technology. In the future, I will continue to look for ways to use new technology in the classroom.
