What I have learned...

I have loved writing this blog for class. I have learned a lot about differentiation by reading the text and listening in class. All my blog posts have either referred to something we did in class or from the readings. My blogging has helped me fully understand differentiation. I liked reading a chapter and then blogging about it. I think that it helped me try to apply what I learned through the readings and in class. I like that I will now be able to refer back to my blog posts and remember what I have learned. I love that I have put videos on some of my blog posts that will help me be a better teacher in the future. I will continue to add different things on my blog.

Rick Wormeli

Today in class we were shown a video on Rick Wormeli's class and how he differentiated a unit. It was really great to be able to see a unit being differentiated. It did look like a lot of work, but like he says it is only upfront work and will save time in the long run. I like how after we watched the video on Mr. Wormeli's class, we all felt like differentiating was completely doable. On YouTube, I found a series of videos he did on differentiation. Here is the first in that series...
I would definitely suggest going through his videos! He is an amazing teacher!
