2010-2011 DI Sessions:
We used a "Dot-mocracy" with some of our sessions - it's a great way to create a kinesthetic anticipation guide



Here are some pics from our Secondary DI Family Networks 2009-2010 corresponding to our network learning goals (see below for feedback from participants).
Every DI Learning Network started with a building community activity called "Snowballs" whereby participants (4 teachers from each school within a family of schools) incorporated kinesthetic, visual, and auditory learning styles to meet, present and introduce each other and their interests to the group. It continued with an "I Wonder... Wall" whereby participants could post questions they had concerning DI. These questions were used to guide the learning. During the sessions, participants demonstrated their understanding of DI (definition, principles, features) by creating pictures, models (see above), songs, mind maps, etc. Some examples are shown below: Participants also used DI structures to explore DI TLXs (e.g. cubes for exploring different components of TLX) and to design student learning activities (e.g. cubing with Bloom's Taxonomy, Choice Wheel, creating models as a choice to demonstrate learning in a science classroom, using a three-part lesson plan to co-create teaching/learning activities, etc.).
