Transcript What Will It Take To Change?

How a Virtual Learning Environment Can (and should) Help Learners
Pick a number…
Between 01 & 10
Multiply by 9
Add 2 digits of new number together
Subtract 5
Assign the corresponding letter to the number
(1=A, 2=B, etc)
• Pick a country that begins with that letter
(A=Argentina, etc)
• Think of an animal that begins with the 2nd letter of
the country

Understanding the Individual
•Differentiation: “By definition,
differentiation is wary of approaches
to teaching and learning that
standardize. Standard-issue students
are rare, and educational approaches
that ignore academic diversity in favor
of standardization are likely to be
counterproductive in reaching the full
range of learners.” – Tomlinson (2006)
