Differentiated Learning, a little closer...
Each student is different, has unique strengths, personal preferences in how they learn and learn at varying rates. One great way to help the varying paces of learning for each student, while making content and projects more engaging and personal is for teachers to create their own multimedia books. Creating your own multimedia book allows you to pool resources that you prefer, fields of knowledge that you believe could be more pertinent and in methods that are more engaging.
Want to make your own? Own an Apple computer? Easy. Grab iBooks Author off the App Store, which is for free, and use one of the templates (really, who has the time?) and start placing in your content.

iBooks is a great way to flip the classroom. Inspired by many educators leading the way, the following iBooks are just some of the units in our class.
