I could apply this video to my teaching in a variety of ways. 
1. I could begin by explaining to students the importance of making the world we live in a fun place. I could also explain that by making tasks fun, it could change the attitudes of people to accomplish more good deeds. I would extend this by explaining what the Fun Theory is. This theory is about changing human behavior for the better by making it fun to do. 
2. I could use this video as an example to encourage students to come up with their own Fun Theory. Students could begin by thinking of a problem in society that they could help improve upon. From there students would brainstorm an idea or device that could help improve a problem that we face everyday while bringing more fun into it! This would require students to use their creativity and problem solving skills. 
3. One more way I could apply this video is by having students wage the pros and cons of their idea/product. This would require students to think about real life scenarios and how much of an impact their Fun Theory would have on people and society. This activity could even be taken as far as debating over different student's Fun Theories. ]]> 2016-08-25 23:36:04 UTC https://padlet.com/miranda_clark5/y22vqsagrmzl/wish/119948660 miranda_clark5 https://padlet.com/miranda_clark5/y22vqsagrmzl/wish/119949311 Universal design for learning (UDL) is a framework to improve and optimize teaching and learning for all people based on scientific insights into how humans learn. 
-UDL minimizes barriers and maximizes learning for all students.
-It characterizes learning based on the three networks of the brain. 
Those three networks are:
1. The Affective networks (WHY): It inspires engagement: For purposeful, motivated learners, stimulate interest and motivation for learning. 
2. The Strategic networks (HOW): This covers Action & Expression: For strategic, goal-directed learners, differentiate the ways that students can express what they know. 
3. The Recognition networks (WHAT): This includes Representation:
For resourceful, knowledgeable learners, present information and content in different ways.
-UDL is designed to create equal learning opportunities for all.

 1. Poor academic performance
 2. Attention Problems
 3. Hyperactivity
 4. Memory
 5. Poor Language Abilities
 6. Aggressive behavior
 7. Withdrawn behavior
 8. Bizarre behavior
-15%-20% of all students have some type of learning or behavior problem. Its important to learn the factors to consider when determining how serious a problem is. Some of those include: Persistence of problem, Severity of problem, speed of progress, motivation, parental/teacher response, relationship with teacher, instructional modifications, adequate instruction, behavior-age discrepancy, and other factors. 
-Effective Instruction: Individually planned, specialized, intensive, goal-directed, employ research based methods, and guided by student performance.
-IEP 
 -Is both a process and a document. 
 -Reviewed annually and can be revised at any time. 
 -A multidisciplinary team includes: representative of local education agency, parent, special ed. teacher, general ed teacher, evaluator, student, other professional as appropriate. 
 -Use SMART guideline for writing IEP
 -Transition planning is a seamless transition to post secondary settings and being able to function successfully in adult life.
-Types of Evaluation Measures:
-Progress Graphs and Charts: measures daily progress and individual skills/knowledge.
-Performance Records: measures progress across time
-Process Records
-Once data has been collected, teachers must begin to design instruction. Some strategies to use are:
1. Determining goals of instruction
2. Flexible grouping
3. Adaptations
4. Scaffolding
5. Time management
6. Instructional process: modifying instruction
