"Differentiation is adjusting and modifying what skills and concepts student learn, what materials the use, and/or how their learning is assessed based on the needs of the students. Our students are not all the same, so we cannot expect that teaching a lesson one way will reach every student." Via Beth Dichter

We hopefully are all trying to differentiate, but sometimes we need that creative push and encouragement. This is a wonderful resource with printable infographics for coming work areas and links to concepts and other resources to really get you thinking in every direction outside of the box - each student will gain something out of you using this.

Mind/Shift has run a series on digital games and learning and has not put together a guide that provides the highlights of this series. Why? To quote from the post... "to create a dynamic, in-depth guide that answers many of the most pressing questions that educators, parents, and life-long learners have raised around using digital games for learning."
A few of the topics covered are:
* What Research Says About Gaming and Screen Time
* How to Start Using Games for Digital Learning
* Overcoming Obstacles for Using Digital Games in the Classroom
The post provides a more in-depth overview.
Over 30 pages of ideas of how to pick and use games with your students.
