United Streaming is such a valuable resource that I
wanted to share how I have used it at both the Elementary and High School
levels for differentiation. We are all searching for ways to improve
differentiation and this is a great way to provide both enrichment and
remediation. It gives you ways to assess and evaluate student progress that are
easy to monitor.
United Streaming allows you to set up classes as a
whole or by individual students. As you search the activities and videos on
United Streaming; you can save them to My Content. From there you can choose to
edit, share, delete or rename them. You then assign them to individual students
or whole classes. You can add your own assignments or use the worksheets that
come with many of the videos.
When you use the My Builder Tools it allows you to
create new assignments, quizzes or writing prompts. Again, you can create your
own or use Discovery Education provided activities.
This is the perfect way to individualize instruction.
The children easily learn how find their name and class, so all you have to do
is log in and tell them they have assignments on Discovery Education or United
Streaming.
The assignment manager provides ways for you see
results by class or individual student or login code. Obviously, assessment
would depend on the assignment. But I really like having an easy way to keep
track of who has finished and needs more enrichment, or who needs extra help.
I have found this perfect for those students who need
extra help or are very visual learners. It allows me to work with students who
need extra help and not feel like my students are "playing" on the
computer. A simple and easy way to
differentiate instruction!
