Response to Article: Six Uses of the Internet to Develop Students’ Gifts and Talents by: Del Siegle, Ph.D.

I'm on the DIRT (differentiated instructional resource team) committee at my current school and I found this article very interesting. I'm really glad they pointed out the use of the Internet as a way to differentiate learning.

Last year I had a gifted student and honestly I was not impressed with the quality of their work. It was sloppy and rushed, but when I pointed it out I always got the same answer, “well, I completed the assignment.” Even after I gave him higher expectations I never really got the level of work I expected.

Now, I can differentiate instruction using the Internet and Web 2.0 tools for gifted students. I plan to start off small so I don’t get overwhelmed, but I’ll keep everyone posted!
