Rick Wormeli Differentiation PD Chapter 3 11/30/11 

For today's PD we are reviewing Chapter 3 of the differentiation book. In your mailboxes you will find a specific question(s) for you to answer. Please think about your answer and then follow this link http://willyou.typewith.me/p/253qV5FfLY to Type with me (now called willyou.typewith.me.com) to write your response and comment on the other responces for each question. This is meant to take the place of us all comming together to discuss. So please continue the great answers and reflections we have had the past 2 times.

While 6/8 of you are working on this. I will be filming Megan and Liz debriefing about the Differentiation conference that they attended on 11/29 and then posting it to this website for you to view and listen to. Please add a comment or question to the video once you have viewed it to show that you have seen it.

When you have viewed the video, or while you are waiting for it to upload, please move on to writing lesson plans or unit plans incorperating some of the DI strategies you have learned in chapters 1-3. When you upload the lesson plan that you use one of the strategies in to Sharepoint, please put DI at the end of the title you save it as to signify the use of the strategy in that lesson.

I will send out a link to a todaysmeet back channel room once we get started that you can use to ask questions, make comments, or seek guidence from should any problems occur.

Please also consider how you can or continue to use some of these technology resources in your classroom with students.

I will post the video below these directions once it is ready to view.

See you in Cyberspace!
