Learning in 21st Century Style

When I first started this course on differentiation, I have to admit, I didn’t have the foggiest idea what I was going to be studying. Aside from the piles of work that was given and a weekly basis, I have survived, but in the end, I have so many more ideas. Good ideas, if I may say so. I was able to develop some concepts and lesson plans for an upcoming social responsibility course with the ideas that we were taught. Before this class, I had never heard of a TicTacToe Board, ThinkDots, Cubing, Anchoring activities, scaffolding; the list goes on. Even though the book was designed for a K-5 setting, I was able to transfer that knowledge to a high school setting.

Now the real test is whether I will remember it all and put it into practice. I hope I will. I probably will review the book and class from time to time to brush-up on things I have forgotten.
