You have a class of students. One student is a visual learner, one student is an auditory learner and one student is kinesthetic learner. Join the Mississippi Department of Education as they review best practice strategies for implementing differentiated instruction in the classroom to help increase student achievement. Participants will leave with tools in their Blackboard toolbox to motivate any middle school student! Dr. Marilyn Bowen, Online Learning Coordinator, and Dr. Leanne Long, VIP Coordinator, will discuss how Mississippi is "Redesigning" education by using Blackboard courses as hybrid instructional delivery methods. They will also introduce tested teaching strategies and various Web 2.0 tools, including Learning Objects. Finally, they will share research results that confirm the learning styles of all middle school students are being met.
