Communicate 3.2.2 Differentiation

As we all know, everyone learns differently and it is important that we consistently use differentiation in our lessons and communication to ensure that all learners are getting the information they need and in a way that they can understand.  While working on this quest I discovered some new resources to help with differentiation in communication.  Here are the three that I found to be pretty easy to use and seem helpful to the learner.

The first resource I played around with was Voki.  This seems like just a fun way to get information to your students.  It is not something I would necessarily use in a lesson, but it would be good for reminders and things like that.  Here is a link to the Voki that I created.

The second resource I learned about is Prezi.  I had heard about Prezi before but never done anything with it.  It seems like it is pretty user friendly, but would take some getting used to.  But again, I think that students would like to see something different than what they normally see, and this would probably be a good way to achieve that.

The third resource that I played around with was wordle.  Being a math teacher, wordle is never something that I have thought would be useful to me, but after playing around with the site, I feel differently!  You could use a wordle in a variety of ways, but I chose to create one that went over important terms from unit 5 in analytic geometry (quadratics).  Below is a picture of the wordle I created.
