Universal Design for Learning (UDL) basically helps educators come
up with ways to meet the diverse needs in their classrooms. This year in
particular for me I have the widest range of learners I've had in years. This
calls for me to be more creative in my teaching and to follow UDL ideas so all
of my students are learning and progressing. UDL calls for 3 specific things
and they are multiple means of representation, expression, and engagement.
Representation gives learners various ways acquire information. Expression
gives learners various ways to show what they learned. Engagement means to get
to know what your students’ interests are and to use that as a means of
motivation for them.
The wiki site posted above gives more explanation of what
UDL is in a very simple and explicit way. The great thing about the above link
is that if you are new to UDL it gives sample lesson plans and also my favorite
on the website is a link to how to create electronic books! They give you step
by step instruction on creating E-books for students in your class with disabilities!
Amazing! Here is the direct link to E-books!
Thanks for reading my first post! Looking forward to continuing my exploration of assistive technologies with you!
