Differentiating Learning with Technology
Second grade teacher, Robert Pronovost helps his students to really understand math. He not only makes learning fun but he takes time to make sure that each and every student understand what he or she is doing. He gives his students differentiated learning. Once his students feel comfortable with addition and subrtraction words such as "all together" and "take away" he then starts his students on computers. He uses a program called Planet Turtle. Planet Turtle gives the students immediate feedback which helps Robert to really help the students who may be struggling. Not only does he use pencil and paper to teach the students he uses all sorts of technology that he got from free trials and or grants. They use white boards, iPod touch, Dream box, and hands. This is an excellent way to teach and work with students. He has seen a much greater improvement in his students than in previous years.
