• Using oral, print, visual, and multimedia to construct meaning from text and context• Using Inspiration, Dragon Naturally Speaking and ‘advanced’ PowerPoint to better
prepare for writing SS Essay• Exploring and understanding the principles of Photo journalism in order to produce
pictures to accompany news articles; interpreting, evaluating and creating visual text• Using ICT to aid in information gathering and communicating of final product; e-mail,
blogging, instant messaging, - students will select means of representation using technology of choice - web ages, PowerPoint, short film, digital photo essay, …
• Representing poetry using technology that addresses visual, auditory, tactile and oral abilities
• Spanish use through development of a website which provides access to internet sites and relevant activities (using voice recognition software)
• Address multimodal presentations and engagement of novel study in the classroom.

Differentiating Teaching and Learning
Information and Communication Technologies – a way of …

Versatility
* Many formants – text, still image, sound, moving image, combinations of text and video, sound in text, video in text …
* Offers users a chance to work in PREFERRED medium(s) or INTERACT with multiple mediums simultaneously. i.e. - a speech – text, speech, video in any combination
Transformability
* Same content to be displayed in multiple ways * i.e. web pages – users can alter size of text, turn audio off or on, turn off graphics, etc. * Cross-media transformations – speech recognition software for example; * Tools can be embedded in web browsers
Ability to be marked
* Html is a ‘mark-up’ language allowing to differentiate among paragraphs, headings, titles etc. * XML – broadens the range of options allowing more ‘tags’ thus altering flexibility * The metaphor for marking might be a hi-liter pen; with option of hiding it or showing it and allowing
different users to mark different things
Ability to be networked
* Joining one piece of media to another using hyperlinks * i.e. direct access to dictionaries and thesaurus * i.e. prompts, electronic organizers or visual organizers
Flexible Media
Saturday, April 22, 2023
Flexible media allows students to venture down different pathways to the same destination, the same instructional goal. The use of text, audio, visual and interactive representations of information can be orchestrated to effectively meet the needs of students ….
FLEXIBLE MEDIA
Media Smarts
Saturday, April 22, 2023
• To help select the most suitable medium or use of multiple media simultaneously
* To convert material from one medium to another on the fly
* To modify the appearance of information within one medium
* To delve more deeply or connect laterally to other concepts through links
* To communicate with many different people through networked computers

FLEXIBLE MEDIA
Saturday, April 22, 2023
The ability to use flexible media in a variety of mediums and to then repurpose the same media in an alternative way allows for student-centered learning experiences that are unique and purposeful.
Flexible Media
Saturday, April 22, 2023
Take a moment to consider the textbook. Its pages … covered in text and the occasional diagram or photograph. Now envision the text, diagrams and images as malleable. During a discussion a teacher can display the diagram as a part of the learning process with a projector and then later email it with an assignment to each of his or her students. Two weeks later, that same diagram could be used in the newsletter for parents and perhaps again as students create a multimedia presentation to demonstrate their understanding. When we consider diversity, flexible media becomes essential.

The Role of Flexible Instructional Media in Differentiation
Saturday, April 22, 2023
Social software are tools that allows people to connect with others to share ideas and collaborate. The distinguishing feature of this type of software is the networked/connected nature of communication - a break from linear communication like telephones, email, etc.

Any learning environment should:
* Have a place for learner expression (blog/portfolio) * Have a place for content interaction (LMS' have this)* Have a place to connect with other learners (discussion forum - LMS' have this) * Have a place to connect the thoughts of other learners in a personal, meaningful way - i.e.
using RSS and then brought back into the "learner expression tool" * Have a place to dialogue with the instructor (email, VoIP, etc. - D2L has some of this) * Have a place to dialogue with gurus (apprentice) - the heart of online communities is the
mess of varying skills and expertise. Gurus are people currently in industry or established practitioners of the organizing theme of the community. LMS limit the interaction to learner and instructor.
* Have a place for learning artifacts of those who've gone before - i.e. content management capabilities accessible and managed by the learner. Tools like Furl, del.icio.us are examples of personal knowledge management (PKM) tools.
* Be modularized so additional functionality and tools can be added based on what learners want or need...a bricolage of course tools - based on open standards - allow for incorporation of new approaches as needed.

I would happily send my children to a school that takes differences among children seriously, that shares knowledge among differences with children and parents, that encourages children to assume responsibility for their own learning, and that presents materials in such a way that each child has the maximum opportunity to master those materials and to show others and themselves what they have learned and understood.
