iPads for education
This website is fantastic! It offers teachers a huge list of educational iPad applications that are categorized into subject areas. When providing differentiated instruction it is essential to recognise that all students learn in different ways, and need an education that recognises this. iPads not only support struggling and high achieving students, but all those inbetween.

Alberta Eduction: Making a difference through differentiation
This website provides teachers with a fantastic resource - a download for a complete book on effective differentiation. I have found this book invaluable during my time at university, as it provides teachers with subject area differentiation strategies, planning and assessment strategies and ideas for gifted and special needs students. It is directed at Canadian teachers, however it still provides useful information for all teachers.
