Differentiation In a differentiated class, the teacher uses: • (1) a variety of ways for students to explore curriculum content • (2) a variety of sense-making activities or processes through which students can come to understand and "own" information and ideas • (3) a variety of options through which students can demonstrate or exhibit what they have learned
Blogs, Pods, & Wikis • Blog: A blog is a Web site where you can write whatever you want, and then visitors to your site can add comments, if they like. Many look like personal diaries. Some have political content. • Podcast: This is similar to an audioblog—a person can create audio files and then their listeners can download the file and listen to it whenever they have time. Check out www.podcast.net for a long list of available podcasts. • Wiki: A wiki is sort of like a blog. Both are on the Internet and both provide a casual way to write about stuff, but a wiki is written by many people who can edit any part of it. A great example is www.wikipedia.org.

Ode to My Spellchecker “Eye halve a spelling chequerIt came with my pea seaIt plainly marques four my revueMiss steaks eye kin knot sea. Eye strike a key and type a wordAnd weight four it two sayWeather eye am wrong oar writeIt shows me strait a weigh. As soon as a mist ache is maidIt nose bee fore two longAnd eye can put the error riteIts rare lea ever wrong.”
