      Hooking this to DI, would be playing into the students' strengths in areas of problem solving, put it with a topic that interests the student and you have a way to even pull the student in more. Plus, if the student uses skills he/she feels comfortable with this is actually self-DI

      Flexibility in Learning for "ALL" students...with the resources available to schools presently, is this a reality for ALL classrooms in America?
  • Universal design for learning means that the creators or publishers of content and curriculum use computer technology to structure their knowledge and activities in ways that will make it accessible to the greatest possible number of individuals.
  • multiple representations of information, alternative means of expression, and varied options for engagement.

  • underpinning of built-in adjustability to suit varied learner needs. The more such adjustability is built into learning products, the less of an impediment will be the difficulties in written expression, evidenced by the broad spectrum of students our schools must educate.
  • Curricula will be created "half full," offering parents, teachers, and learners opportunities to interact with the information, add their own material, and leave their own personal stamp or interpretation on the materials, thus assuming a more active role in their own learning.

  • You can't know where you're going unless you know where you are.
  • These abilities -- recall, analysis, comparison, inference, and evaluation -- will be the skills of a literate twenty-first-century citizen. And they are the kinds of skills that aren't measured by our current high-stakes tests.
  • adding assessment vehicles such as student portfolios and presentations as additional measures of student understanding.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • With these formative and summative types of assessment come the ability to give students immediate feedback. They also allow a teacher to immediately intervene, to change course when assessments show that a particular lesson or strategy isn't working for a student, or to offer new challenges for students who've mastered a concept or skill.

      This is a great way to incorporate technology into a mathematics course. Often, assessments tend to be forced choice, but by creating a problem-based, authentic assessments, students will be able to apply many of the 21st century skills that they will utilize after graduation.

      Having students create a Prezi (prezi.com) would be a new and exciting way for students to present the information from the project-based assessment to the class
  • I plan to survey to my tutees about their experience with the real-world problems and its affect on their learning.

      A tool that may be useful in analyzing students' perspecives of these projects is SurveyMonkey (http://www.surveymonkey.com). The surveys are easily created and the results can be formated in graphs, charts, etc. In fact, perhaps using SurveyMonkey within the class integrated into one of the authentic-assessments might be a second way to utilize this free and user-friendly learning/teaching tool.
  • real-world problems, and performance-based to see if their misunderstanding is with the concepts or the real-world application. I would use project-based to assess their understanding of larger amounts of material.

      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.

      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?
