Jennifer's+Summary+on+Using+DS+Sources

(Week 7's DS assignment)

Jennifer’s Summary on using the DS resources Our group’s selection of resources provides many sites to explore that implement the principles of UDL and DI in our classrooms. One major way I will use the list of resources is to refresh my knowledge of students’ interests, learning styles, and profiles to compose my own set of survey questions for my students at the start of the year. A modified survey can be given every grading period to see how students’ interests have changed, and what students want to learn next. Another way I will use the list of resources is to find sites that will help with remediation. There were several links to programs that would help my visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners excel. Using the computer, adjusting volume, font, color, and more, are all great ways to reach out while implementing the principles of UDL and DI. A third way is to use the links to keep current on new research, review UDL principles, and gain new insights to bring back to my students and colleagues. Armed with the latest information will assist me in supporting my students in and out of the classroom. New suggestions may help me reach a student that has been especially challenging to in the past. A fourth way to fully utilize this site is to encourage my team to share more resources as we move onto our next course. Having a site to share ideas relieves stress and saves time.
