Reflection

 

Some of the ways that I can differentiate this assignment is to allow for extra time to complete the assignment. Some students do have that on their IEPs and it is necessary for them to have that extra time to work to ensure that they can complete the project to the best of their ability. I would also reduce the project length. Instead of making eight to ten slides, I would have them do five to seven slides. For some students I would have them watch a tutorial on how to use Canva, as well as written instructions and possibly partner them with a student that is proficient at using technology. Finally, I would have regular check-ins to make sure that adequate progress is being made and ask if they have any questions.
