Introduction Making a difference in the lives of our students is what drives us as educators. What you do to meet each student’s individual needs and connect with each student affects his/her success in school and life. How will you make a difference?

Task In order to answer the question, “How will you make a difference?”, you will be investigating differentiated instruction and strategies for using differentiated instruction in planning your lessons. Using the information you have gathered and analyzed you will work in groups of 2 or 3 to apply the information to create a differentiated lesson plan integrating technology that will aid in the success of all the learners in your classroom. This lesson plan will double as your strategy lesson. Go to Process

Resources PaperPencilComputer 340 Lesson Plan format Activity #1 Answer Sheet

Process You will work individually to complete Activity #1, the WebQuest. You will use the information from the web sites, as well as your prior knowledge, to answer the questions. Then you will work with with your partner(s) (one or two other people in the class) to create a differentiated lesson plan/strategy lesson integrating technology that will aid in the success of all learners in your classroom. You and your partner(s) will teach this lesson during the scheduled peer teaching in class (Activity #2).

You should use the 340 lesson plan template we are discussing in class, noting any revisions we may make in class.340 lesson plan template Conclusion Activity #2 Creating the differentiated lesson plan Evaluation

Activity #1 Evaluation You will be evaluated on whether or\ you completed the WebQuest and answered the questions appropriately using the information you gathered from the web resources and your prior knowledge about Differentiated Instruction.

Conclusion Congratulations on completing the WebQuest and deepening your knowledge and understanding of differentiated instruction! It is my hope that you will be able to apply this more easily to your own planning and teaching. It is important to each individual in your classroom to have every opportunity to learn and succeed while in your classroom and differentiated instruction can help you as the teacher provide those opportunities. YOU can make the difference in a child’s life!!
