=**Week 6 - Additional Resources**= [] This resource is a great way to differentiate math instruction and practice. It is divided into grade level as well as skill. This would be great for centers or to use for enrichment or reteaching.

[] This resource provides many websites for Kindergartners to access. The teacher will need to decide which game is appropriate for the students based on their needs and levels.

[|www.starfall.com] Starfall is a great resource for differentiation based on reading level and interest. I would recommend it for K-3 (lower reading level for grade 3 or to use as a genre study). There are several levels of support based on the level you choose. The levels include ABC, Learn to Read, I'm Read

__Readiness Resources__:


 * CASTUDL Book Builder can be found at []. Book Builder allows teachers to turn any textinto an online format. The program alsohas a feature that will allow students to click on a word or page to be read to them. There are also books already available for students to access.


 * BookFlixcan be accessed through [|www.bookflix.com]. BookFlix is not a free program, however, you can often access it through a public library site. BookFlix has many fiction and nonfiction books available with a range of topics. There are often skill related games and puzzles following the stories.


 * FASTTMath is a program that works with math fact fluency. It can be accessed through []. FASTT Math allows teachers toa dapt factors such as how many problems students get per session, how long their response may take, and how high the facts can go.

__Interest Resources__:


 * WebQuests can be accessed through many different sites and searches. I searched Google and found multiple websites including Web Quests. Some examples can be found at []. This allows students to complete Web Questson numerous science topics.


 * Virtual Field Trips can take students on field trips without leaving the classroom. Students can choose what type of experience they can have based on their interest level. A wide variety of virtual field trips can be accessed from []. Teachers can allow students to access field trips based on their interest and learning profiles. Due to many budget cuts throughout states and districts, students can have access to places they have wanted to visit but cannot due to budget, monetary funds, or even family involvement.

__Learning Profiles__:


 * YouTube.com or TeacherTube.com can be used in several different ways to differentiate instruction within the classroom. YouTube.com and TeacherTube.com both have many resources to different types of content. It includes many video and audio resources for students to access. YouTube and TeacherTube can allow students with little background knowledge of a topic to gain more knowledge before the lesson by watching a video. Teachers can allow students to view the video during center time or independent time before teaching the lesson.


 * By using Voice Thread, at [|www.voicethread.com], students can differentiate the product of a lesson based on their learning style. Teachers can have students create a product with the choice of using technology to demonstrate their learning visually or auditory.

**Interest Survey**
[|http://www.eht.k12.nj.us/~jonesj/differentiated%20instruction/Interest%20Surveys.htm]
 * This interest survey allows the teacher to know more than just how the student learns. It allows the teacher to know the whole child. It allows the students to answer yes or no to questions about what they like and if they answer yes, there is space for them to describe their answer. For example: Do you like sports? Which ones do you like? Good format for elementary students.

Learning Style Survey
[]
 * The learning style survey provided above allows students and teachers to see if a student is dominant in a specific learning style such as visual, auditory, or kinesthetic/tactile. This will allow teachers to see which way a student prefers to learn and provides opportunity to teach to that style as well as build on the less dominant intelligences. Good for mid/upper elementary and middle school students.

Multiple Intelligences Survey
[]
 * The multiple intelligences test above would be perfect for kindergarten and first grade students. It breaks down the test by intelligences and provides pictures that represent what the intelligence includes. Simple pictures will allow students to judge if they like doing that activity. Students only need to click on the pictures that interest them and count how many pictures they clicked. This will allow teachers to provide a variety of experiences within the classroom based on intelligences of his/her students.

Learning Profile Inventory
[]
 * This website provides different learning inventories categorized by age groups. The different inventories seem to really match the age groups. it also gives you some other ways of completing a learning inventory other than just asking questions (See the example "Name Plate Interest Inventory). Some of the inventories do not include anything about age, race, or gender but that can be included as an addition piece to one of these inventory. This inventory can also allow teachers to incorporate student interest into lessons.
