Tools to Differentiate Teacher Instruction
Although Web 2.0 tools are important, teachers must not rely on Web 2.0 tools to teach the students, just as teachers shouldn't rely on the textbook to do so either. The teacher is responsible for choosing tools or creating an environment where students can choose tools to help them understand the content and concepts. The tools are just that, tools that assist teachers and students to differentiate the material.
I used Wordl to create this Word Map to introduce the concept I discussed on the Content Map. I could use this to begin a unit and ask students to choose words they didn't know or understand to research. Students that were familiar with all of the terms could take a specific term and create their own Wordle, including more in-depth information.
