Blog #3: With the reading you've done so far, about differentiation, can you see any differentiation I have organized for you in this course? Look at the assignments (listed on page 3 of the full syllabus and outlined on pages 7 - 11). Which one appears to you (not your friends, or study buddies, but to YOU) as if it may be the product and process differentiated for student interest? Briefly explain why you think so, and connect it to something you read in Ch. 1 of Fulfilling the Promise.
One of the big ways you have used differentiation in your course is through the use of these blogs. Blogs allow the student to reflect both on the reading and the discourse in the classroom. By using blogs you have allow us as students to focus on our interest and made it possible to work in the areas we are ready. I think that is what you were hoping for when you assigned us to do blogs.
Another way you differentiate is by using morning meetings. Morning meetings cater to the student they provide an arena where every student can have their needs met.

I appreciate your insights concerning my intentions with the assignments in this class. Hopefully you are coming to recognize different WAYS you can differentiate, too. We'll continue to clarify it in class. 4 points
