    Here is another one of the required resources. When I tried the link listed on the resource page, it didn't seem to work so I've bookmarked the page I think that Judy wanted us to look at

      The idea of the "one-size-fits-all approach is being changed in the pages of textbooks, but sometimes it is more difficult for teachers to make this ideological change-over in their teaching methods.

      True, but I am not convinced that the concept of UDL is really as much of a change as CAST is making it out to be. This is kind of a repackaging of ideas instead of a new idea. The concept of backwards design and Understanding By Design are all kind of the same thing. We are really just being asked to think about the end goal and how it fits everyone at the beginning. Or am I missing the point of UDL?

      I agree with you, UDL is looking at designing lesson plans and units in the same fashion that backwards lesson design does, but one difference may be that UDL looks at brain research. Granted I know little to nothing about the theory behind Backward Lesson Design, but is there a key component regarding brain research and actively engaging students using differeniated learning to activate the various neural networks? Perhaps UDL is Backwards lesson design with a splash of Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences and a dash of Pavio's Dual Coding System?

  • The initiative was a natural fit for Curriki, an online community for educators and a repository of free and open curricular materials, said the organization’s executive director, Barbara “Bobbi” Kurshan. “It’s so in line with what we do that it was easy to pull together the documents and materials and to show districts and states how to create collections of content,” she said. The organization has crafted instructions to help schools, districts, and states make use of the resources on Curriki that could be helpful in the event of school closures. For example, teachers can post content from their curricula or flag curricular materials that already exist in the Web site’s database of resources for student use, said Ms. Kurshan.

      The comment posted for technology class
  • clausen wrote: The district I work in is the third poorest school district in the state and many of the students with working-class families may not have access to computers with Internet. I realize that an alternative would be to create packets and assignments in hard copy to these students' homes but aside from the technologies discussed in this article and the paper alternative how do we reach those students who are "unplugged," from technology? Is it right for students with technology in his/her home to continue working with interactive lessons, wikis, and blogs that can be structured to accommodate reading and learning differences while other students can't? In turn, isn't this widening the learning gap between students in working-class families and upper-class families? 9/13/2009 12:14 AM EDT on EdWeek

    An interesting read on the label "extinct" and the potential problems with declaring an animal extinct as well as references to a statistical model that could potentially help allocate resources to the animals with a higher probability of potential change.

    After reading a post in Discussion Week 3, written by Sean W., I wanted to see what else I could find regarding the "Semantic Web." Here is one site that is rather interesting.
