Today, we are chatting about one of my favorite topics: Digital Differentiation with G Suite! Differentiation is a big buzzword in teaching, but it is often easier said than done. Let’s discover ways to use our favorite Google tools to level the playing field and make differentiation a reality in your classroom. This student-centered teaching strategy helps us reach all learners. G Suite tools help teachers and students communicate and manage multiple assignments with ease. Listen closely for step-by-step instructions, implementation ideas, and some Google tips that will save you time and reap many benefits for you and your students. I hope this episode inspires you to dig deeper into differentiated instruction, and how to use the tools you have available to support all of the learners in your classroom. In This Episode: [00:28] - Kasey welcomes listeners to the show and reveals today’s topic: Digital Differentiation — with G Suite Tools. [01:17] - This week’s shoutout goes to Our Lady of the Lake Catholic School in Mandeville, LA. They made it through the Dynamic Learning Workshop just before school let out! Learn more about The Dynamic Learning Workshop here and the online course. [03:07] - Let’s discuss digital differentiation using G Suite and why this is such a hot topic. [04:01] - Kasey refers back to the master of differentiated instruction, Carol Ann Tomlinson, who has authored several books on the topic: Managing a Differentiate Classroom How to Differentiate Instruction The Differentiated Classroom [04:56] - Learn what differentiation is and is not. [06:31] - Dig into the 3 components of digital differentiation from Susan Oxvenad.

Provide Flexible Learning Paths Develop Future-Ready Skills Provide an Effective Way to Use Digital Tools FOR Learning (not just an end product) [09:31] - Kasey breaks down the different Google Tools that teachers can use to support differentiation, including Google Classroom, Google Forms, and Google Slides. Differentiating Assignments in Google Classroom [10:13] - Google Classroom allows teachers to send assignments to only selected students rather than the whole class. [11:14] - Kasey provides some tips for using Google Classroom in conjunction with differentiated assignments (full blog post). Tips for Naming Differentiated Assignments in Google Classroom Always number and use consistent naming conventions For differentiated assignments, consider a group or individual identifier in the assignment title. (Ex: Group 4, Special Assignment, Extra Credit, EC Sarah Jones, or come up with your own consistent naming convention.) Remember the name of the assignment names Drive files. Tips for Differentiated Assignment Directions in GC Get specific with your directions! The more information that is available in Google Classroom, the fewer excuses students have for not completing the assignment and the fewer interruptions you are likely to have. Attach a rubric if you have one! Resource: How to Package Your Digital Assignments Tips for Group Differentiated Assignments in GC Designate a group leader in the assignment. The group leader is responsible for creating any new files and “turning in.” Consider asking students to submit a reflection at the end of group work to help you get the whole picture of the learning process. Student Choice Assignment Tips Number the assignment and detail the choices in the directions and/or in an attached (view only) document. (Note: This is also great way to use digital learning menus and choice boards.) Attach links to digital tools that may be offered as a choice for completing the assignment. (Example: Using one of the digital tools below, create a digital story retelling, “The Tell-Tale Heart,” in your own words.) Long Term Projects, Modifications, or Enrichment For long-term projects, special projects like Genius Hour, or for students with special modifications, you may consider creating a separate “Class.” (Note: This is really only worth the time if these groups are long-term, or reused.) (For more ideas, listen to episode 5 of The Google Teacher Tribe.) Using G Suite to Create Interactive Choice Boards [15:43] - G Suite is the perfect companion to create digital choice boards.

[21:16] - Kasey provides an example of how to use Google Forms to create a branching assessment or review. [25:00] - Google Forms can be very complicated. Kasey offers great tips to make your forms successful and effective teaching tools. Google Forms Branching Tips Start small, just a few questions. Map out your branches before you begin. Utilize the page titles and descriptions to help you organize. Test it! Then, test it again! Remember, this type of assessment will not be graded--Assessment FOR Learning! Your spreadsheet will not be pretty! But that’s okay! Kids are smart! You must facilitate this type of assessment.   Other Ways to Use Branching in Google Forms When a student answers correctly, they could be taken to a harder question. When a student answers incorrectly, you could show more specifically where they went wrong with each answer choice (not just review a concept)–like solving a math problem incorrectly. Student choice: Use this feature to allow students to select from a menu of choices to demonstrate their learning, then upload the file to the form to submit. The spreadsheet would allow you to see what they select and should be working on during class. Gamify! What if every correct answer revealed a clue or a puzzle piece? Students could collect and work individually or collaboratively to put together. Put this feature in students’ hands and let them create something for their class, or another class to teach a skill, or play a game. [20:16] - A friend of Kasey’s, Sylvia Duckworth, created a Choose Your Own Adventure form for her French class that allowed students to create their own ending to a story!

Insert #GoogleDrive Videos in #GoogleSlides 4 New Video Features in Google Slides That Will Make Your Day WORD LENS IN JAPANESE: If you don’t speak Japanese, Tokyo can be a confusing and sometimes daunting place to visit. Even if you make it through the complex subway system, you’ll be faced with street signs, menus or products on supermarket shelves that are only in Japanese. With Word Lens now available in Japanese, you’ll never have to worry about taking a wrong turn on a busy Shibuya street or ordering something you wouldn't normally eat. The Google Translate app already lets you snap a photo of Japanese text and get a translation for it in English. But it’s a whole lot more convenient if you can just point your camera and instantly translate text on the go. With Word Lens, you just need to fire up the Translate app, point your camera at the Japanese text, and the English translations will appear overlaid on your screen—even if you don't have an Internet or data connection.
