Differentiation, Autonomy and playlists

Using Playlists to

Differentiate Instruction

"A playlist is basically like a roadmap. I break down a unit, and the playlist includes different activities and different video lessons that the students progress through as we work on a specific unit of instruction.

With playlists, the responsibility for executing the learning plan shifts: Students are given the unit plan, including access to all the lessons (in text or video form), ahead of time. With the learning plan in hand, students work through the lessons and assignments at their own pace. And because each student has her own digital copy of the playlist (delivered through a system like Google Classroom), the teacher can customize the list to meet each student’s needs."-Natalie McCutchen
