Share This

A website that will help with differentiated instruction within the classroom

Share This is a great tool for students to use while working in a team setting. So many times, a teacher asks students to pair up for group research projects. Share This will allow students to research on their own and share the sites with their group. The group can then get together and quickly look at all of the website that everyone found and create a group report. Not only does will this site help reduce the research time but also all of the students will be able to participate.

To customize learning, a teacher could send links to the students that pertain to the level of learning. For example, if a teacher is teaching a classroom of 22 students a lesson on fractions she could send each student a specific website that will help enhance the learning of fractions.

For those students that are not grasping the concept of fractions she could send the students to the visual website of how fractions work. http://www.visualfractions.com/

For those students that understand fractions but just need more time to practice. The teacher could send a Share This link to Freshed Baked Fractions where the student can start out on an easy level and slowly move up to the hard levels. http://www.funbrain.com/fract/index.html

For those students that really understand fractions and are ready to be challenged, the teacher could send the Share This link to Applications of Fractions. Send the students a site that allows the students to use fractions in a real world setting. http://jamit.com.au/htmlFolder/app1010.html

So many times teachers do not differentiate instruction because it takes too much time but with the Share This feature, teachers could quickly pass along websites that meet the needs of every student.

Share this would be a great tool to teach along with the Netbooks especially if a student is out sick. The teacher could quickly click the Share This button and send a website to the student that is that is at home sick. And in reverse, the student that is home sick could send links back to the teacher on research that he/she found on a topic presented at school.
