As I was doing some perusing of the internet, I came across some more sites that would benefit teachers with the implementation of differentiation of instruction:
http://mindmeister.com/ - this was an interactive mind mapping site. One map could be made and many students could comment on the map. I thought that it would be a great way to continue the "discussion" or the "reflection" that was started in class, while they were at home. It is free and seems to be user friendly. I think that it could be used for all grades, since the map would depend on what grade level built it.
http://www.zoeysroom.com/ - this was a site especially for middle school girls. They could interact with female "scientists" and "mathematicians" to see what it was like. So many young girls get turned off on math and science at that age and it seems that this might be a great way to encourage them.
On a side note, have either of you tried to download moodle? I am having trouble. I really want to learn more about it and use it next year in my classroom, but I need to get it on my computer first. Any imput would be great. Thanks and good luck with your last two weeks of class.
