In a class of 30 students, it may be challenging to reach every individual student. This is where learning stations are helpful in meeting individual students’ needs. The purpose of reorganizing the classroom (entirely or partially) into learning stations is to allow the teacher to provide the highest quality instruction to a small group of students while other students work independently, productively and cooperatively in a variety of interconnected tasks at other learning stations. In this presentation, Sasha Van Zandt and Lisa Maupin will cover the logistics of learning stations as well as the integration of authentic resources and technology (Chromebooks) into learning stations.Sasha Van Zandt (Lincoln Northwest High), Lisa Maupin (Lincoln East High)
