"DI is mostly about what we do ahead of time, not how we interact or conduct the lesson at the time.
There are some good aspects going on in the classroom, but that facilitation can only occur with purposeful and thoughtful planning. I can make
flexible decisions because I've already prepared the resources or other avenues in anticipation of student
needs. Am I always prepared for everything? No way. I get better with time, however."
- Rick Wormeli, Getting Started with Differentiation", 2003.

“You can be a good teacher and never use
technology, and technology won’t turn a bad teacher into a good one. However, a good
teacher, using technology well, can make great
things happen.”
-Rushton Hurley
