When you create lesson plans, you should keep this range in mind.

.Plan for variability in all your lessons

.Provide many different resources and let your students choose which ones work best for them. 

.In a UDL environment students rarely do the same task in the same way. This could mean when writing a paper some students write by hand, while other type. ]]> 2023-02-07 18:15:30 UTC https://padlet.com/d00440127/UDL/wish/2472245335 Step 1 in applying UDL in the classroom kinleyspaulding https://padlet.com/d00440127/UDL/wish/2472255347 1.

2. Use digital materials when possible

- With digital content you can increase font size, easily look up definitions, use text-to-speech to read text aloud, and link out to more detailed information on almost any topic imaginable.

3. Share content in a variety of ways

- Some students will do well simply reading the textbook, while others would benefit from watching a video or listening to a hiphop version of the lesson.

4. Offer choices for how students demonstrate their knowledge

- Engaging students by giving them access to audio, video, digital text, and interactive sites, only then to hand out a paper and pencil quiz at the end of the day isn’t ideal.
- This could be a demonstration, slideshow, speech, essay or video. Even using simple free tools like Google Forms provides an upgrade to standard multiple choice tests by making it digital and helping you to streamline grading.

5. Take advantage of software supports

- The number of apps, extensions, sites, and built-in supports available to students today is nearly infinite. 
- If you have a student who needs support with reading, writing, math, history, chemistry, or any other subject, chances are, software exists to help.]]> 2023-02-07 18:33:28 UTC https://padlet.com/d00440127/UDL/wish/2472274419 kinleyspaulding https://padlet.com/d00440127/UDL/wish/2472278805 2023-02-07 18:36:14 UTC https://padlet.com/d00440127/UDL/wish/2472278805 Three Main Principals of UDL: vanwagonersydney https://padlet.com/d00440127/UDL/wish/2472282878 1) Representation:
-Offering information in more than one format. Try providing text, audio, video, and hands-on learning in order to find the best strategies for your students. 
2) Action and Expression:
-Allowing your student to choose ways to complete assignments, such as taking a pencil-and-paper test or an oral presentation, can be helpful to the autonomy of the student. 
3) Engagement:
-Including ways for the student to participate that interest them. Examples include getting up and moving around the classroom, or asking applying personal interests to the concepts discussed in class. ]]> 2023-02-07 18:38:52 UTC https://padlet.com/d00440127/UDL/wish/2472282878 Questions d00469074 https://padlet.com/d00440127/UDL/wish/2472283245 1. What are the three principles of UDL?
2. What is an alternative to letting a student demonstrate their own knowledge rather than a paper quiz?
3. Why is something that fits the average of students end up not helping any student? 
4. How does using media help different students?
5. A student, Amanda, has struggled with (physical) posterboard-type projects in the past, and the science fair is coming up. What could you do to help her with this project?]]> 2023-02-07 18:39:07 UTC https://padlet.com/d00440127/UDL/wish/2472283245 Bibliography vanwagonersydney https://padlet.com/d00440127/UDL/wish/2475403771 https://www.texthelp.com/resources/blog/7-ways-to-introduce-udl-into-your-classroom/
