Language and Literacy Spectrum, v24 p49-75 Spr 2014
Given the increased diversity of students within the regular, general education classroom, this article explores the importance of differentiated instruction to meet the needs of all learners in this age of Common Core State Standards. Using digital literacies that engage students, the authors showcase apps and web tools they have used in developing learners' literacy. Most of the recommended apps are free and suggestions are included as to how teachers might use these tools with students of the classroom.
