This course had a lot of really good ideas for ways to differentiate learning in the classroom. I think these would not only be beneficial for extending learning for GT students but to help elevate the classroom for ALL learners

This course really gives some good ideas for activities to use for differentiation. I found the brain development part very helpful at the beginning, as it helps illustrate how the minds of children are being shaped now in comparison to 10, 20, and 30 years ago, and the challenges it brings to the classroom.
