Description
Have you ever wondered how to better use technology to address the diverse learning needs of students in your classroom? This session presents how the Internet and other technology tools help teachers locate meaningful curricular resources that require students to apply critical and creative thinking as they solve problems, explore complex decisions, or respond to meaningful text. Participants will view interesting sites, discuss criteria for selecting resources for advanced level students based on the principles of differentiated instruction, and investigate technology tools teachers can use to design challenging learning tasks.
