This wiki provides curriculum-related information in multiple means of representation so that students who have difficulty reading the traditional textbook can access the same information as their peers in different ways.  These pages were created to support the inclusion of a few students, but their teachers are reporting success in using the digital resources with the whole class.

Need more resources?  Here are my favourite links for curriculum planning organized on a handy Sqworl page.

Teachers are reporting lots of success using the Sqworl pages of student links.  Here are some of the ways they have been using the Sqworl pages:

• including students in the regular curriculum
• differentiating instruction by offering student choice
• alternate way to access curriculum material for students who are absent or can't read the textbook
• more practice with curriculum material for students who need more repetition
• extension activities for students who need more challenge
• in computer lab with whole class (they only need to type in the sqworl url!)
• at home for parents who want to help support their kids (just give parents the sqworl url!)

Here's some information about wikis in case you want to make your own.
