Step Two: View
Directions:
This 10-minute video shows how a teacher used the strategy of small group stations to differentiate for her students. This lesson includes only offline stations. As you view the video, think about how you would plan a station rotation lesson like this one without the extra teachers in your classroom. Instead of extra teachers, students have access to laptops at two of the stations. In other words, how could you integrate technology and "blend" the learning?
