Web 2.0 ToolsInstruction, Assessment and Differentiation

2012 Summer Teaching Innovations AcademyCalifornia State University, Fresno

Let’s Recap!

Universal Design Principles1. Provide multiple

representation of information.2. Provide multiple means of

expression.3. Provide multiple means of

engagement.

UDL principles provide flexibility and meet the needs of all learners.

Learning Styleswords (linguistic intelligence)numbers or logic (logical-mathematical

intelligence)pictures (spatial intelligence)music (musical intelligence)self-reflection (intrapersonal intelligence)a physical experience (bodily-kinesthetic

intelligence)a social experience (interpersonal

intelligence), and/oran experience in the natural world.

(naturalist intelligence)

How Can you Differentiate Instruction and Assessment?Ask yourself, “What do I want my

students to know, understand, or do?”◦Content – what do students learn –

how can they access◦Process – how do students learn –

how do students make sense of the learning

◦Product – the way in which students demonstrate knowledge, how students will show what they learned

Tying it all together with Web 2.0eDifferentiation – using technology

to meet the diverse needs of students◦Use a variety of instructional

approaches to modify content, process, and/or produces in response to learning readiness, interest, and learning profile of academically diverse students

Consider allowing students to make choices about how they want to demonstrate knowledge - Create
