Edutopia 3

Students learn at many different academic levels. Giving students different opportunities will help every student reach their personal goals. Technology can provide students ways to enhance learning and learning styles. Teachers can offer students different ways to submit assignments based on a student's ability to learn. Allowing a choice creates leadership while meeting the same criteria that other students are meeting as well. Adding technology into an assignment can increase a student's engagement throughout. A student can create an E-Portfolio to showcase their learning growth that can follow them throughout their educational journey.

• Differentiating allows students to learn more about themselves while also becoming self motivated workers. This can increase every academic year to help prepare students for life after high school. 
• E-Portfolios can help students track their academic growth but also allow teachers to have a better understanding of how a student performs. This can be helpful so a student can look back on what has succeeded or failed. 
• Technology is not the only way a student can submit assignments. Songs or comic strips can help students to be creative to better understand material while enjoying learning. This will also show a student's personality through an assignment.

Having students submit assignments through different means is something I would like to implement in my future classroom. This will help all types of learners learn beyond their means of traditional learning. Students will want to learn more if they enjoy the work.
