Differentiating Instruction

This blog is differentiating instruction. It's the first example that popped into my mind. We were all assigned a blog, with no other guidelines. So, everything that we post here, is a perfect example of our individual choices, a chance for us to exhibit the way that we would choose the complete a task. These blogs would fit into the category of a differentiating instruction product, rather than content or process.

But, what are other examples of Differentiation Instruction? The best way that I thought to approach this was to come up with different examples in content, process, and product. As a teacher, I'm going to need to embrace these techniques to broaden my teaching skills, so why not create a wide variety of ideas now.

Content- What and the Materials of learning 
 It would be difficult to change the content we are learning, so I focuses on the different ways that we could present the materials
  • Lecture
  • Power Points
  • Guest Speakers
  • Field Trips
  • Hands on Experiance
  • Displays
  • relating the content to modern, or popular media similarities
  • Textbook readings
Process- The things students due by which they learn
  • Taking Notes
  • Debating
  • Doing lab work
  • constructing scientific procedures
  • Learning memorization songs and games
  • In class activities 
  • Guided studying and knowledge exploring
  • In class discussions
Product- The thing that the student produces and becomes the means for assessment
  • Spelling tests
  • Essays
  • Posters
  • Blogs
  • Stories
  • Poetry
  • Scrap Books
  • Diaramas
  • Art work
  • Plays
  • Interpretive Dance
  • Photo Diary
  • Models
  • Flow Charts
  • Tests
  • Role Play Diaries
  • Scientific Experiments
  • Surveys
