Communicate 3.2.2 Differentiation

It's always imperative in education to consider accommodating different learning styles and disabilities. Especially with online education a great way to do that is to vary techniques and engage learners with graphics, audio, video, and interactive tools.  It's a great idea to incorporate text and audio when possible to modify for students with hearing and/or vision disabilities.

Here are 3 awesome interactive tools that I have used for differentiated instruction:

1. Prezi:  the first time I saw Prezi I was in a workshop on a staff development day.  It blew my mind!  The presentation was so engaging and put together I thought that the instructor must have been a technological genius and that it must have taken him days to put together his seamless presentation.  I now know that it didn't but I would love it if people viewed me the way I viewed him that day.  For that reason I love Prezi.  Here's a presentation I created as an introduction to numbers for a Spanish 1 class.  It incorporates audio, video, text, and an interactive game so I think it's a great example of differentiation.

2.  Wordle:  Here's a Wordle that I created for a previous quest:

3. Padlet:  I created this homepage example using padlet.
