UDL gives students many options to choose from. Differentiation is still allowing some choice but involves more teacher choice.

As a school counselor, I would usually go into the classroom to teach my lessons and I had set stories/topics and an activity that related. With UDL and online learning I can translate my lessons to other languages students/families may speak. Additionally, I can provide a variety of different activity options they can do for the lesson instead of having the students only have one or two activity options in the classroom. Furthermore, I am able to provide more "exit ticket" options to determine they understood my lesson and it's counseling topic.

As an art teacher, we encourage choice based art making. This allows students to think critically to solve a problem visually. This works great in the classroom when I can organize a variety of materials and provide different visual examples. I will be challenged to figure out how to provide these options during remote learning as students do not have access to the same variety of materials at home. I will have to create ways for students to have choices in this setting.

I will need to give different options for delivering the instruction not just the representation of learning

It's different because you have more ways for students to choose how to respond with technology.

The set up for design will be community based vs. teacher based. All participating parties on various levels of the learning environment will have to assist in the development of UDL.

Challenge to find ways to replace skill/performance based PE assessments with online assessment.  Also, instead of differentiating equipment, have to differentiate actual assessment styles.

Just like accommodations in the classroom we need to be aware of any assistive technology that may be required. It's not enough to assign the AT, it is also important to practice using the technology yourself so that you can be aware of whether or not its functionality is beneficial to the student. The teacher will also need to have a solid understanding of how to use the technology so that they student it is assigned to can be taught how to use it.

Just like we do in a classroom to make things accessible to  students with various disabilities we need to make sure our technology that we use during virtual learning does as well. This may mean including text to speech for all materials/websites we use and pictures with descriptions. I was excited to learn about the WAVE tool as I didn't know about that tool and it's abilities to help determine how accessible websites we use may be.

Being aware of the challenges your students and their families may be facing is important so that you can check the online tools for websites that you are expecting students to use regularly. If a specific outlet doesnt work for a student or family, trying to find other options to make them successful is necessary.

Making sure that all students can access websites that are not from the county. BCPS does check for accessibility and creates documents (in newly created curriculum). I am wondering if students can have the folder titles in Schoology read aloud??? That would help with accessibility for sure.

We need to check all documents, materials,websites etc to make sure they are accessible and work for all students before assigning them.
