Hey Taralyn!

The way you analyzed the video “Differentiating Instruction: It’s Not as Hard as You Think” really shows your understanding of differentiated instruction! You highlighted key points effectively and have written a structured analysis overall. I definitely agree with educators should reflect on their current teaching practices and consider how differentiated instruction can be implemented in their classrooms which is basically active engagement on their own behalf as the educator. Additionally, when you mentioned about educators are required to create a plan to address differentiated challenges in their own classroom is really good as it sounds firm and non-negotiable. With the group forum discussion through bright space, this should encourage educators to take action about their teaching style and determine where they lack to have a better student engagement and meet their classrooms diverse learning needs. With the forum, this enables educators to motivate each other and provide feedback to better their understanding about diverse learning needs. This is a really thoughtful solution for educators who does not care at all or not interested in learning about differentiated instructions. Good job mentioning and providing a solution!

Hi Taralyn,

Your blog post #3 about creating your own learning resource is well planned and was carefully designed to help diverse learning needs and reach learning success easier than ever. By incorporating multiple instructional strategies such as engaging content through readings, videos, and case studies that caters to different learning preferences really emphasizes your understanding of your idea and how it would benefit the diverse learning needs. Additionally, what I realized throughout the blog which is great is you did not forget to acknowledge interactive scenarios, quizzes, and lesson plan development exercises where it allows educators to apply their knowledge practically. Moreover, the way you used unexpected pandemics as an example to show the reader that your learning resource is still accessible through an online learning platform highlights the way you’ve taken every possible situation to occur and already implemented a solution and a way to pivot in the case of a pandemic or any unexpected situation occurs. This proves the amount of thoughts and consideration to create this learning resource for diverse learning needs and ensure a successful learning goal. All in all I 100% support your learning resource as it is well-structured and engaging that leads to a successful learning story.

Hi Taralyn,

I really like how you structured your blog post on cooperative learning! You clearly highlighted the key benefits and agree with all the points you’ve made, specifically how cooperative learning is a “team-based and helps create a better community, leading to a warmer atmosphere in the classroom. A Factor that stood out to me is how you added the fact that cooperative learning contributes to a positive interdependence and enhances interpersonal skills. Additionally, I like how you showed your understanding of this topic by connecting cooperative learning to differentiated learning as both have its contribution to learning success, such as that cooperative learning supports differentiated learning by having the students to work in mixed-ability groups and can enhance their strengths and receive peer support in areas where they need improvement. This really highlights the need of student support with their needs in regard to diverse learning.

Hi Taralyn,

I really enjoyed reading your post! The summarization is well on point, and I agree with your explanation of the difference between cognitivism and constructivism. I completely understand how it was difficult to separate the two since both are similar in some factors, but you explained it very clearly. Another thing that caught my eye while reading your blog post is your learning style. Although my learning style is behaviourism since I like to interact with the events that are happening around me. I tend to find myself resonating with your learning style, constructivism simply because I like to challenge myself and actively engage with content to stimulate my brain. I agree with your perspective on constructivism because it can help you in the real world and enhance problem solving skills which can contribute to a person’s success. In addition, I don’t find having trouble memorizing, but I definitely prefer to study with repetitions, like for example math, the only way to improve your mathematical learning is through repetitions until it becomes “muscle memory.” Your conclusion also opened my eyes for myself because everyone is different with different learning styles and the only way to enhance and practice your brain is to embrace how you actually learn and receive information.
