Why you feel so?

I believe that I am on the developing scale because I am lacking strategies on ways that I can support my higher learners. My focus is always on the struggling students and how to support them and I never get a chance to challenge my high students to go beyond.

Differentiation

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like I am proficient because I allow my students to use a variety of tools and resources as a way to show end products or even to go through a process of thinking.

I like to incorporate technology as far as allowing my students to use voice to chat or posting discussions and using a recording option to explain their thinking. I make sure to give all students these opportunities but I could be better with consistency

# data[].attributes.body
Differentiation Scale

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that I am developing because over the past three years, I have learned that all students learn and process information differently. I have presented information to students verbally and in written format. I have also allowed students to deliver knowledge and learning in different ways (choice boards).

What has been the most impactful experience you have had with the Depth and Complexity icons?

Last year was my first year teaching. I did not know what the icons were or what they represented until our campus G/T liaison came to my classroom and moved the icons throughout my room to showcase what they represented. She then came in and explained it to me and my class.

# data[].attributes.body
One way I use technology to support differentiation is by incorporating Canva into my classroom. I often give students the option to complete creative projects using Canva, which allows them to express their understanding in a visually engaging format. This gives them the ability to navigate away from multiple essays, but stiil gives them a voice and a choice in how they demonstrate their learning.

The list can range from: podcast, videos, newspapers, etc.

Along with the option, I provide a clear list of requirements or a rubric that outlines what needs to be included in order to meet the learning objectives. It supports different learning styles and allows for flexibility in content delivery and assessment.

# data[].attributes.body
With teaching PreAP Geometry, we use a TI Inspire calculator regularly. There are students who have more experience using Desmos and they choose to use this online calculator. They can solve problems in various ways. We also use Quizizz, Google forms, Kahoot, and college board.

# data[].attributes.body
The most impactful experience I have had with the Depth and Complexity icons was when students created Google Slides on how their favorite cereal had change overtime and included rules.

# data[].attributes.body
The details icon helped with the quiet kinder student find their voice and communicate more about their experiences and how it related to shared literature. Using technology, the kinder students were allowed to use any apps available to them to create, type, or read.

# data[].attributes.body
2. The technology I used to support differentiation is

*Google Classroom with HMH reading basal - audio of reading passages or any videos that needed to be linked

*YouTube Videos - example: Study Nerd incorporated AI version of Macbeth - students were able to understand the language used in MacBeth

*Kahoot - generating questions used in classroom as a game component

# data[].attributes.body
I have used different apps or sites to differentiate assignments or to help with the process. For example, my students enjoyed using SeeSaw because they could record, draw or type. With the iPads we also used a text to speech app and I used AI for different things.

# data[].attributes.body
2. I have used My Path online and printed lessons for math and reading to meet students where they are during intervention time. For example, if my student was at a 1st grade level in math I would print out a lesson at that level to work with the student in small group.

# data[].attributes.body
I have implemented the use of technology in my classroom to support different learning styles. I have used the different mode styles of LUMIO on the SMART interactive board. I have also had my students participate in Quizziz, Kahoot, Brainpop, and Epic.

Using Depth of Complexity questioning challenged my students to think outside of the box and broaden their horizons. Students liked using sentence stems, and I felt it helped them get their ideas out.

When I was teaching in 5th grade in New Mexico, I had a student who was Twice Exceptional and he struggled with presenting his ideas to the class, even though he had wonderful thoughts and ways of explaining. I asked my tech director to help me with an iPad for the student and then taught them how to use the make a movie app where he could record and add his own "flair" to his presentations. This way he could still present without causing him anxiety and others could grow from his knowledge..

# data[].attributes.body
I haven't used a lot of technology to support differentiation. The only thing I remember right now are the videos from YouTube and other sources such as Kahoot and the Starfall app.

Impact of using D&C icons

# data[].attributes.body
I have used technology to extend assignments and activities in my classroom. I have allowed students to research topics to add on to their work. I have allowed students to draw their responses or audio record their responses.

# data[].attributes.body
My team uses technology in various ways. One way we use technology is by providing the students with puzzles of their interests. This allows us to scaffold the lesson based on levels and differentiation.

# data[].attributes.body
To support differentiation by using technology in my classroom I have used Google Docs, so that students are able to use speech to text to "write" their papers or question responses. I have used Epic for students that are unable to read, in order for them to be able to enjoy books by having them read to them while they follow along. Students use Amplify reading program to practice skills in reading and NoRedInk or IXL to practice skills in writing. Students have also recorded video skits to reenact sections of a story they have read and then explain what that part of the story meant.

# data[].attributes.body
My most impactful experience using depth and complexity icons was using only 3 icons a year. This allowed my students to become familiar and connected with the icons and their understanding of the topic.

# data[].attributes.body
I have used the Read to me books on Epic to differentiate technology by having my students have the opportunity to use read a loud vs traditional reading.

# data[].attributes.body
The most use of technology that I have used in my classroom to support differentiation in my classroom is:

vocabulary support with pictures

listening to books

recording self or each other for responses

creating a video

taking a pictures

How I use technology to differentiation in my classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
I have learned to use technology in class for differentiation with apps or learning sites for things such as text to speech or having options for turning in assignments. For example, my EB students enjoyed using the draw or voice record option in SeeSaw. I also used AI throughout.

# data[].attributes.body
In truth, I haven’t used technology enough to support differentiation. I teach art to the youngest students (PK-2nd). At best, I have used technology to create art with the students, but not necessarily as a tool for differentiation. However, I have used an app to help ELL students communicate their thoughts; also, I have allowed video/audio recording (using an ipad) if the student felt more comfortable talking vs writing their artist statements.

# data[].attributes.body
Response to Prompt 2

# data[].attributes.body
I have introduced my students how to navigate different academic data bases in order to engage in the inquiry and research process. Students would conduct research over a topic of their choice to address a main research question. I also introduced different presentation software to students so they can present their research in an organized, articulated, and creative manner. This permitted students to explore different sources within data bases they felt most comfortable with and utilize their creativity to compose an original research project presentation.

# data[].attributes.body
What have you done to use technology to support differentiation?

When I taught in PreK, I assigned a color project for my students. The purpose of this assignment was to learn new vocabulary and to develop oral expression. The previous teacher who had done this project suggested to have their students draw items that were (i.e red) or whatever color of the week was. Since we had iPads in the room, my TA and I assisted students in taking pictures of the color of the week and printing them out to make a classroom collage. We also allowed for students to make short videos at home so that they can investigate what items of the color of the week that they have at home. We showed the video to the students during the morning meetings.

I've used a recording option similar to this feature. I used it during a social studies lesson where my students designed a cattle brand after learning about ranching. The students recorded themselves describing the drawing and reflected on some questions I provided. The students were engaged and enjoyed recording themselves. I would like to incorporate Google Classroom more this coming year to provide more technology opportunities.

I've used FlipGrid to introduce myself to students before the start of school allowing them to video record introducing themselves to me. I've also used FlipGrid so students could review books. Their videos would produce a QR code that students could scan when they wanted a book recommendation. I commonly use differentiated reading levels that are built into programs such as NewsELA.
