Join me and @MyInfinitec for a webinar series designed to help educators dig deeper into Digital Differentiation with Google Docs 2020. The model was designed to provide resources, pedagogy, and inspiration to empower educators to leverage the power of tech as a tool to support the unique learning needs of ALL students.
The pedagogy and tools have been frequently updated and presented to audiences live and worldwide throughout the past decade. I’m excited to continue to present Digital Differentiation this year and thrilled to be able to illustrate the tremendous progress and growth among all stakeholders in education.
Digital Differentiation is the process of designing and facilitating student-driven learning experiences that are fueled by standards-based essential questions and powered by digital tools.
The Driving Pedagogy Behind Digital Differentiation
Universal Design for Learning supports the idea that our learning needs are as diverse as our fingerprints. To meet the personal learning needs of all learners in a classroom, educators should provide learners with multiple means of representation, engagement, and action & expression. Technology can be used to support personalized learning needs, put data to use, and power-up classrooms to support flexible learning paths for growth and success.
Google Docs and Digital Differentiation
Google Docs is a free and mainstream tool for education that can be used to support Digital Differentiation in efficient and effective ways. With an abundance of reliable, assistive technology features and supports, the tool is packed with the potential to engage ALL students in the highest levels of learning through creativity.
