After completing my own
Curriculum Barriers and assessing my math lesson based on UDL guidelines, I took
notice of the following:
|
Strengths
|
How I Do
This:
|
|
- Supporting executive
functions:
|
My students always need
everything chunked, checklists, and/or visual reminders of their tasks to
complete
|
|
- Recruiting student
interest:
|
This project is
individual and independent, so students have a variety of options
|
|
Weaknesses
|
How to
Change:
|
|
- Offering physical
action:
|
I’m unsure…this is
difficult for me, but something I definitely need to incorporate
|
|
- Provide options for
language, mathematical expression, and symbols
|
I need to incorporate
various types of technology to reach all learners when providing
instructions/steps to follow
|
A specific UDL objective I
want to focus on is a greater variety of technology resources. My greatest challenge will be the
technology problems we are having at my school. I’m a traveling teacher, which means I’m in different rooms.
I am currently experiencing SMART Board connectivity issues, inability to post
student documents on our new platform, and other tech issues. This affects my teaching, the class time spent
trying to trouble-shoot, and the student behavior while I’m preoccupied.
Jess,
ReplyDeleteI understand your "difficulties" with technology. My school provides a lot of technology options. However, there are many times when the technology does not work. Teachers lose instructional time because they try and figure out how to fix the technology. And when a ticket is put in to get fixed, it could take multiple days for it to get fixed. It certainly affects your teaching!
