The Twitter conversation was enjoyable for me as a teacher and as a millennial. I appreciate that we are using different types of learning styles and differentiated instruction in this course. Reading, creating, and discussing in different ways has made me rethink how I can do this with my students. After learning a complicated concept like in Pre-Calculus such as how to find zeros of a polynomial. The students can create a concept map or flow chart on the process of finding the zeros. The websites are easy to follow but it the visuals can even be made by hand with the students.
The readings forced me to think about what the important parts of DI really is and this includes classroom environment and student engagement. I think that all teachers realize this but often we feel like that we can't change these things but the tools and ideas presented in the readings gave me ideas for my own classroom. In my own post I focused on how assessment is important for DI and that this is what helps me decide what DI I will have for the students. My classmates were able to follow my flow chart and saw what I do in my classroom now for DI.
On other posts I frequently asked questions such as how can we engage the students who refuse to learn or won't take responsibility of their own learning. The posts of my colleagues really challenged me in thinking how much I provide the information versus direct learning in the correct way. I look forward to picking the brains of my peers in exact ways of how the students take on their learning. This I will look in the twitter conversations.
