It is more evident to me than ever that as an educator I need to not only recognize that students are diverse in their learning, but also in their lives. It is my challenge to bring their real world into academic subjects and let them begin to take charge of their own learning. Although this cannot be done overnight, the process needs to begin now and needs to continue to move forward without stopping. Adding differentiated elements to my instruction will engage both learners and administrators alike and help to bring 21st Century Learning into my classroom. Technology is a crucial part of this learning puzzle. The use of online learning and interest surveys, modifying learning environments so that students have access to small group, whole group, and individual instruction, and the inclusion of both parents and administrators in the process is key in meeting the needs of the diverse learners.
I think that one of the most important things I learned in this class is that I must take the time truly needed to integrate all of the amazing resources to which I have been introduced. There are a vast number of websites that can be utilized to reach my students regardless of their level and I am determined to use them in the upcoming year. I enjoyed making my Powerpoint presentation and also watching other people’s presentations. Everyone has contributed so many wonderful resources and ideas; I am eager to put all of these to work in addition to continuing to collaborate with my Walden colleagues!
Thanks everyone for a great class!
