Educators in New York and Philadelphia Share Breakfast, DI and UbD Resources
Over breakfast in both New York and Philadelphia, educators joined in a discussion on Differentiated Instruction (DI) and Understanding by Design (UbD) at the Making Regional Connections Networking Breakfast.
Many of the resources that they shared, including a video example of classroom implementation that reflects instructional strategies taught using UbD and DI through technology, are available on the event Web site:
While the live event took place at the ASCD summer conference on DI and UbD in New York, participants from the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) National Educational Computing Conference (NECC) joined the session virtually, from Philadelphia.
The session was facilitated by Diane Mason, Technology Coordinator, from Lake Charles, Louisiana, who gave a special focus to the role of technology in capitalizing on opportunities and addressing challenges.
ASCD is collaborating with ISTE on a number of ventures over the next few years. This event, which took place on June 29, is one such activity.
Many of the resources that they shared, including a video example of classroom implementation that reflects instructional strategies taught using UbD and DI through technology, are available on the event Web site:
- Differentiated Instruction Through Webquest Samples
Process: Toys in Space (K-12)
Content: Lake Charles Zoo (K-2)
Product: Simple Machines (3-5)
- Differentiated Instruction with Technology Video Clip
This video is a an example of classroom implementation that reflects instructional strategies taught using UbD and DI through technology: Life Cycle of a Frog Differentiated with Technology
- Training Initiatives
These technology-based initiatives presented at the district level demonstrate the connection between preservice teacher training and current classroom practices.

not a specific comment to the post, but wanted to share that I am working with teachers in NYC public schools and we are designing units for september (and beyond) using UdB and integrating technology.
Great ideas in this blog!
I attended in New York and it would have been nice for the ISTE and NECC folks in Philly to have responded, didn’t see much use in the “virtual” part of the presentation. If you plan to do more of these you should plan to use the technology better.
