Using the resources from our social network will allow me to stay up to date with differentiated instruction and provide me with a supply of websites, information, teaching strategies, and other resources for possible implemenation within my classroom. Having an available database of resources will help my process of diversifying curriculum as well as providing staff members with available resources if they take an interest in Universal Design for Learning or Differentiated Instruction. The collection of resources will be a great support system in moving forward with differentiated instruction.
Implementing more technology on a regular basis will help diversify learning opportunities and reach more learning styles. Adapting lessons to fit individual student needs will be beneficial to their learning outcomes and differentiated learning abilities. By using more technology I will have greater success in reaching each individuals' diverse needs. In the future I will try and introduce as much technology as possible within my teaching lessons, as the flexibility of technology helps promote a diverse teaching curriculum.
