Blog #6 What I learned...

I chose to look at Heidi's blog. I found it interesting because she used the same differentiation idea that I did which I felt would benefit me because I was able to already know how the task worked and be able to see what she had caught about differentition that I had missed. I liked how she emphasized that this activity would help students look for heros in our every day life instead of ones like Superman. I believe this is important because it makes the project more meaningful to the individual student which is definitely part of differentiating. I also liked that she showed how she would differentiate in three different tiers. Planning plays a huge role in differentiating. If we as teachers are willing to take the time to plan our activities out to our students needs then both us and the individual students will benefit greatly.
