Welcome to the WHB Differentiated Instruction Using Technology Website.

This site is a repository of tools & information to help differentiate instruction in your classroom.

Web 2.0 tools are applications that reside on the web and include a level of interactivity.

Explore some of these on your own with a partner and create an example to share.

• • Wordle (word clouds)

  • Bubbl.us (brainstorming) or Webspiration (concept map)

  • Big Huge Labs (posters)

  • VoiceThread (conversations around media)

  • Google Docs (wikis, collaborative documents)

  • SchoolWires - (blog feature)

• Glogster (graphic posters)

The following are Mac apps that we can use to differentiate instruction:

• • iPhoto

  • GarageBand (to create podcasts)

  • iMovie

  • Accessibility Features

We can also help facilitate instruction using Rubrics and Checklists. Ask students to help create these rubrics too!

• • Rubistar

  • Assessing Projects (Intel)

At times we need more specific devices and strategies for our learners. Here are some additional resources:

Center for Assistive Technology & Environmental Access: http://www.assistivetech.net/

Online information on assistive technologies, adaptive environments, and community resources can be found

at the Center for Applied Special Technology such as the Universal Design for Learning Book Builder http://bookbuilder.cast.org
