There are many helpful
apps, websites, software programs, and games that are available to help
teachers facilitate UDL in the classroom and a useful tool for
differentiation. This website is a great resource
for teachers with any experience or knowledge about UDL. I teach students with LD, and this was
gold for me!
I found a very basic and
easily navigated website for mind-mapping, here. Text2MindMap is a visually-appealing way to have students
brain storm, without needing too much knowledge of coding or HTML on a
website. You are able to save and
download your MindMap when finished. You can use for free, but accounts open up more
options.
Brainingcamp is a great
resource for aligning fun, instructional videos with Common Core. You do need to pay for a subscription,
but it would be well-worth it.
Each taught skill includes: lesson, manipulative, questions, problems,
and challenge.
National Library of
Virtual Manipulatives, NLVM,
is for PK-12 teachers to use as additional visual support. This website offers hundreds of
different manipulatives to use. (I used the "function machine".)
What great resources you have provided...
ReplyDeleteI can not wait to use NLVM in my classroom of Life Skills/Functional Academic Learners. What a great website that offers differentiate instruction.
I have used Braining Camp before and have great success with using the site with whole group instruction, peer to peer learning, or individual. It provides the students multiple means of engagement in the lesson.
