Educators design authentic, learner-driven activities and environments that recognize and accommodate learner variability.

The link above is to a Kahoot. This online game is a quick way to tailor learning for each class. Kahoot offers a fun learning experience through a game setting for individual practice or the whole class. Using this resource, I can create reviews for individual students or groups of students. I also have students create Kahoots for their peers as part of presentations in which the student becomes the teacher.
This graphic is one example of how students can demonstrate their learning using technology. Creating a graphic allows students to use visual information to connect their learning to real-world situations. This could also be a lesson about photography best practices with a graphic as a final product.
VoiceThread is a tool that can be used to create interactive lessons or practice for students. The VoiceThread attached is designed for a review of integer rules using a song, several slides of practice, and a 3-2-1 exit ticket. Students can interact with each slide through voice, video, or the doodle tool. I am able to create individualized practice for students by using VoiceThread.
