=Day 2 - Differentiating and Using Clicker 6 for Reading=

Teachers will identify learning difference amongst students. Then, students will identify learning grids through the Learninggrid.com website which would be suited for students with special needs. Later in Day 2, teachers will identify and share reading grids for students in grade levels Pre K – 2.
 * Overview**

1. Identify special needs our students may have. 2. Utilize scenarios to identify which learning grids would be appropriate for students with special needs. 3. Identify learning grids which can be utilized as reading and language arts activities.
 * Objectives:**

1. Searching Learninggrid.com 2. Editing and writing on a wiki 3. Creating a screencast-o-matic
 * Prerequisite Knowledge**

1. Internet Ready Computer 2. Screencast-o-matic software (a copy is on your computer) 4. Learninggrids.com 5. [|Screencast-o-matic]
 * Materials and Websites**

Teachers will pair in small groups to brainstorm what needs students may have (example, many of the students come from households where limited English is spoken) and then come back together as a whole to share what needs their students and create a list. Teachers will then be tasked with picking one special need from the list and finding a learning grid activity which would help differentiate learning for that student. Then, teachers will add the title of the learning grid they found to the wikipage for Day 2 along with the special need the learning grid met, and an explanation of how the learning grid would meet the special need they were searching for.
 * Activity 1 – What are the needs of the students in our classrooms?**

Teachers will with either individually or in grade level pairings to identify objectives in reading for their grade level. Then, teachers will search for at least 3 learning grids which can be used within their grade level classroom. Finally, teachers will share their findings through the use of a screencast-o-matic which will show which learning grids they chose, and explain why the learning grids would be effective for teaching or reinforcing the reading and language arts concepts they chose.
 * Activity 2 – Learning grids for Reading and Language Arts**

Students will evaluate the effectiness of Day 2's activities and instruction.
