Central Role of Technology in UDL and Examples 9. Potential
Impact of UDL on Student Learning at my School
- - Student will be engaged in learning
- - Students will feel more confortable in the class
environment.
- - Student will have access to technology.
10.
- UDL and the Brain Research
- Brain research has shown that learning takes place in three
interconnected networks:
- The recognition, strategic and affective network.
11.
- UDL and Brain Research Mirror each other.
- The brain networks affect how students learn base on cultural,
ethnic, linguistic and academic background.
- Brain networks have different approaches for teaching
information, teaching skills, teaching strategies and teaching
students are engaging in learning.
12.
- UDL principals in the Classroom
- - It allows access to all students.
- - Technology tools can increase access and engage
learners.
- - UDL offers information and tools for students learning.
13.
- All students are different.
- They all have a different cultural, ethnic, linguistic and
academic background.
- All students differences impact how students store information
in there brain.
- The teacher needs UDL to know student s strengths and weakness
to built leaning.
