Module 3 “Describe how Assistive Technology impacted the individuals in each of the given videos.

Module 2 “How do you see UDL being used in your school?“
In the self-contained classroom I am in now, we use UDL all the time. Each student in the room is on an individualized curriculum that is best suited for oneself. No one students is on the exact same schedule. We do somethings together such as morning meeting but, when we are in center or stations, the student(s) at that one station has their own folder that is designed for that one student. Also, if the work is too hard or if the student is having a hard time with it, there are other options we can give to the student in substitution. Also, each week students learn three new sight words. The teacher will model and explain each word then give students whiteboards to practice and manipulate the word. When teaching academic areas, we use the correct terms and symbols that students need to know.

It is so important for teachers to understand that one lesson plan does not fit all and it’s important to have back-up plans just incase student(s) do not understand or follow the set lesson. UDL is for all students and it makes sure everyone is involved in learning.
