Diagrams and maps have been used even before the computer age. It is the digital use of diagrams and maps that have changed the way students evaluate information. Digital diagrams and maps can now be collaborated on through web based programs. This opens up a new method of differentiated instruction. As a highly qualified educator in my school district, I will use this information to educate myself. In turn, this will enable me to become a better teacher and communicate these lessons with my students.  I will also share what I have learned with my colleagues and administrators.
