Sometimes I feel like my district is so far behind when it
comes to advanced technology! Most of my experiences with producing information
with computers and communication technologies have been through the MET
classes. There were a couple of things I had to do in my undergrad and in the
first masters program I went through but nothing that I use consistently in the
classroom. This summer I created a class webpage, but I haven’t been able
to use it yet (one unblocked website at a time). I have also created a podcast
for an article review and a screencast lesson for a flipped classroom project. I
enjoyed creating them and I can’t wait to teach my students how to make their
own! I have a very wide range of learners this year and it will be a great way
to differentiate.
Using technology is a very effective way to differentiate learning for students. Think of all the different learning styles you are able to reach using the tool. I'm curious what site you created your website on. Hopefully, you can speak with your district coordinator and find out why it is blocked. If your filter is like the one in my district, perhaps the site is categorized in an inappropriate group.
