During this week's assignment, viewing of videos, and readings, I have developed a deeper understanding of the UDL layout. The objective of a UDL is to reach students of all learning styles and ability levels. By addressing all of the students' needs through a variety of strategies and methods, more students will be successful. The videos of the intermediate school student who uses technology to make movies and uses a green screen was amazing. One part of it when the teacher said the student actually tutors her was awesome. (Edutopia.org) Students know so much about technology that often times, I think adults underestimate what they can really do. I intend to incorporate more technology based assessment tools into my own lessons in order to provide more immediate feedback to my students and to determine which students need additional help in specific areas as we progress through lessons from day-to-day. Waiting until test day is too late to determine students do not fully understand the content. By creating a UDL plan and incorporating technology based assessments, instruction and learning will surely improve.
