Reflection This week we learned about UDL instructional practices. We learned that instructional feed back for students should be corrective, timely, specific and where students can provide some of their own feedback. We learned about Web 2.0 tools that we may utilize in our endeavors while teaching with technology. We learned that not every student learns in the same way and technology is the key to teaching our struggling and at risk students. We read about collaboration and communication tools that can be used for students of all types. We learned about writing lesson plans for technology applications. All in all this has been more of a constructive week. It has been a very busy one and I have enjoyed the content.

Reflection for UDL lesson plan website.

I really enjoyed using the website for the UDL lesson plan. However, I did have some trouble with loading the AdobeAcrobat reader into the google docs. Also, I had trouble editing the google doc and saving. It seemed like it took forever to download. I feel that technology lessons are coming together in looking at the model lesson plans. I felt the website was easy to use and to the point. Teachers don't have much time to waste making out new and detailed plans. It will come in handy when making plans and needing to do it efficiently.

Reflection UDL Book Builder

Wow! What a task! I have just spent the past hour making a online book! I am feeling very "accomplished", yet exhausted from this weeks assignments. This online book could help students with learning difficulties in many ways. I love the charachters that ask critical thinking questions and give students strategies for figuring out the questions. I think students who cannot read can really utitlize these charachters because it will help them understand words they do not know. The questions make students think above and beyond just a read aloud book. Pictures and sound effects and hearing will help students remember the material. Older students could even build a "book" for younger students to teach them concepts. This is a great learning and teaching tool. I am really impressed!
