    Pretty cool site with a number of links to tools online. Searching through is a little difficult because it is alphabetical by tool, but it is still pretty darn nifty.

      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.

      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?
    • C Clausen
      C Clausen on 02 Oct 10
       
      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?

  • 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.
