But the best things about teaching BizWorld Id8 for me were the robust opportunities for differentiation! As a teacher, I had plenty of options: I could give students specific problem situations to solve, or allow students to select from a menu of situations to find the one they were most interested in. And that was just on the first day! Other options were in the marketing phase, when students could learn storyboarding and make a simple Google slideshow for their commercial, or they could experiment with green screen technology and script writing to add rigor to their lesson – all within the same classroom of students. And then there were ways that students naturally accomplished goals in different ways, especially when they were pitching to their investors. There were so many possibilities to individualize learning for my students in simple, but impactful, ways. My students love it, and I loved ID8 and cannot wait to teach it again.
