E-Learning and Differentiated Instruction - Part I

As I've tried aimlessly to find resources out there for computer teachers, I've come to the conclusion that I'm going to have to figure this thing out on my own. It truly amazes me the amount of material there is out there for incorporating technology into every discipline except for "technology." With that said, I had a couple of thoughts as I sat through an Instructional Practices in-service in which I had to add differentiation into my next five days of lesson plans. (which by the way...is not exactly easy to do when you are a computer teacher...but that's another thought for another day)

I label this post as part I, because I am certain that when I have more time to mull this idea over, I'm going to be able to better condense my thoughts on the subject. Right now I have so many different ideas going through my head that I know it will take some time to sort out.

As I sat there trying to come up with ways to differentiate my lessons, all that kept running through my head were the first 4 chapters of the book that we are reading for this class. For those of you who are not reading it...I highly recommend it to you. The first chapters give specific examples of learning activities that fit into the various categories of elearning. I plan, in my next couple posts, to look at elearning and how it can be a valuable tool in the differentiated classroom. I am certain that there is documentation out there that will help to tie these two ideas out there so that is where I will now direct my focus...

Here's hoping this quest proves to be more successful.........
