EDLD+5364+Week+2

 It was hard for me to get motivated this week, but I finally made myself get to it. I learned this week how to use  technology to   add to   instruction for non-traditional students  , like special education students. UDL (  Universal Design for Learning   ) is an interesting concept. I have not heard of it before. It does not require me too change the lesson plan for each student with different learning abilities in my class. UDL works on all levels of students in the classroom. There are  four parts   to the   UDL   system that include, instructional goals, methods, materials, and assessments which   creates a   supple   learning   atmosphere   that accommodate  <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;"> s each individual  <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;"> learner. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;"> It has been proven that students who use technology have better grades and score higher on standard test. This tells me that technology is here to stay and all teacher need to be using it in the classroom on a daily basis.
