Jewel's+Technology+to+Differentiating+Instruction

Here are some additional resources on using technology to differentiate instruction:

[|www.**brainpopjr.com**/] This website provides very brief and engaging educational movies for K-3 students. It also provides homework help, leveled quizzes, games and activities for kids in the areas of math, science, social studies, reading and writing. I have used this website with my students as a way to reinforce a concept taught in class that presents the content in a very kid-friendly way. [|www.tumblebooks.com] This website provides eBooks for students on the computer. It has hundreds of stories online that are animated and students can listen to the stories being read with good expression and fluency. This website is great for students of all grades at the elementary level. It also provides quizzes and book reports for students to complete once they have finished listening to the stories. The animated, talking picture books also can be read in Spanish and French. Therefore, this website would work great for students who speak these languages and still learning English. It will help to bring some familiarity within the classroom learning environment. [|www.starfall.com] This is a free website that teaches young children (PreK-1) how to read with phonics. Students enjoy using this website because they can interact with the letters, sounds and words as they practice their reading skills. I have also used this with my 2nd grade English Language Learners because it reinforces basic reading skills in English.
