Workshop+Two

 **Directions: ** First, listen to Dr BJ Gallagher's Podcast on Learning Preferences. Provided with the podcast is the e-Text. e-Text is text that allows a visual learner to meet their learning preferences. In a text to speech program the e-text is displayed and words are typically highlighted as the text is read aloud. The auditory MP3 file allows the auditory learner access to their learning preference. A tactual learner also has a choice which highlights their learning preference. This practice of combining multiple presentation methods is a UDL and Differentiated Instruction strategy which you will learn more about. The podcast and e-Text can be found under Resources for Module Two.

Explore the links found on the following web site: Complete one of the free Multiple Intelligences and one free VAKT learning style preference Inventories. Keep a log of what you find out about yourself. ** Module Two Assignment 1: ** Post a summary of your styles on your personal wiki under Module Two Assignment 1.

 2-Then, explore information developed by the Center for Applied Special Technology (CAST) and found on their website at: [|http://www.cast.org/]

<span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: black; font-size: 9.5pt;">3-Read the article “Curriculum <span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: black; font-size: 9pt;">Acc <span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">ess for Students with Low-Incidence Disabilities: The Promise of UDL” found at : <span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt;">[]

<span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt;"> 4-View screencast “What is UDL?” found at []

5-Review the information and complete the class profile Matrix found at [] 6-Complete CTE Online course Moving Forward with Technology found at: []

Here are additional files related to the Class Profile Matrix please review and directions will follow later regarding your assignment in a following workshop.









<span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt;"> 7- <span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: black; font-size: 9.5pt;">Next, go to the UDL Lesson Plan Builder [] and find out more information concerning UDL. Watch the video, read about UDL or try a fun activity. Have fun experiencing the UDL way of learning information in multiple formats. <span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: black; font-size: 9.5pt;"> 8-Now you are ready to begin planning for your Technology Integration Plan. Open the Universal Design for Learning Lesson Plan document found below. Consider a series of 2-3 lessons that you would like to create during the course. These lessons would be perfect to adapt as we talk about various assistive technologies. By doing so, you can directly apply the concepts to your lessons. In your lessons you will be using the UDL principles along with incorporating 10 low tech (mandatory- 1 Visual Schedule, 1-Talking PowerPoint, 1 –Social Story, 1-Addapted Book with topic board) and 5 high tech (computer based) assistive technology strategies.

9-Create a User Account on the UDL Lesson Plan Builder site found at []. Make sure you remember your username and password. Write them down in a safe place...one that you will remember. You can use this format to help with your lesson creation. Make sure that you note in your final project the multiple means of representation, recognition, and expression that you will be using along with a discussion of the SETT framework.

10-Finally, take a look at the resources found on the Learning through Listening website: [] **<span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: black; font-size: 9.5pt;"> Module 2 Assignment 2: **<span style="font-family: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; color: black; font-size: 9.5pt;">

Send your Instructor a Message via email regarding your subject area focus for the lessons. You will post your final TIP plan on your personal wiki by the end of the course.

Given two examples of each means.
