= = =STUDENT INTEREST SURVEY=
 * []**


 * I looked over many different surveys for this assignment** and I really enjoyed this one. Besides focusing on the obvious interests (classes, favorite color, and sports) it also focuses on many different topics like travel or advice one would give. This can be given to a high school student or lightly modified for different age groups.

Learning Style Survey [] This online survey seems to be more designed towards middle to high school students that might have some experience with learning skills. In the end the results show percentages for all learning styles to show the degree of learning styles.

MULTIPLE INTELLENGENCES [] This online forum, students can answer situations on a spectrum of answers, and many of these questions might coincide with high school students as well as middle school students. I feel the best part of this website is the way the results are presented by showing the spectrum of all intelligences. A student can easily see what their strengths and their weaknesses are.

Learning Profile Inventory [] This survey combines many different surveys into one survey. Besides looking at Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences there is also a focus on thinking styles. This is designed for high school students and for older students due to the fact of the size of the survey (80 questions). I found it interesting that the survey even asked about right or left handed.

=__**Week 5**__= http://www.k8accesscenter.org/training_resources/readingdifferentiation.asp This is a great resources for all types of DI information. I read the section on Choice Boards and I am going to implement something like this. I like the idea of students making their own choices and relying on the teacher to make all the decisions for them.

[] This webquest site is a awesome resource for all age groups. Not only can you find resources you can create your own webquest to fit your own needs.

Ashley to James

I really like the first website you found. I like how it breaks it down for you into sub categories. When I researching, I also found webquest.org. It seems like a really neat idea and one I want to try in my classroom.

Scott to James I like the first site because my district has implemented many reading strategies and this site helps on how to implement DI in the classroom.

Heather to James I went to webquest.org and used the curriculum/grade level matrix - nothing came up for high school math. You also teach 9-12 math, correct? Were you able to find any webquests that you could use, or are you more interested in creating your own webquests?

Mike to James, That second website that you posted could be very helpful to me and my classroom. My first search was for webquests on the human body and the first one that I checked out would be great for my fifth grade room. Great resource. Hopefully they get the text search function fixed.
