My final NECC session was Web 2.0 Tools to Differentiate Instruction with Linda Brandon and Sarah Martabano.

Linda and Sarah shared the definite need to differentiate instruction for all learners. This can be done by student readiness, interest, or learning styles.
With Readiness, kids interact, learn and create when they are ready, which can be at anytime, any place! With Student Interest, students may choose their own style of instruction, delivery, assessment, and evaluation (such as project based learning). Student Learning Styles may be met and enhanced by multimedia use, such as audio, video or images of attainable content. This may be an area where you wish to have students blog about their reflections of learning from the differentiated lessons within their individualized experiences.
It is up to us as the educator to decide where a child may need differentiation in their instruction. Using Web 2.0, rather than Web 1.0, the shift has been to a more collaborative role in the classroom setting.
Why Web 2.0??
1) proliferation of tools
2) ease of the use
3) availability 24/7
4) global reach
5) reinforces all of those 21st Century skills
