Universal design of learning are a set of rules that are for a curriculum development that results in equal opportunities for all students. This helps all types of students with different backgrounds and learning abilities to reach their academic goal in school. Assistive Technology are different types of technologies that are specific for students with disabilities. UDL and AT are tools to help address concepts of a learner variability and helps the individual needs of a learner. I think that this technology is a great tool for the classroom. For assistive technology the student can use an iPad to help him speck or tell emotions. This is a new way for them to learn in a way they couldn't before.
On the resources that i found on UDL was how lesson plans can help with books languages. How it can help students know the language. Its for Monkey Paw and its to help students with the language in the book. This website helps diverse learners because it can show students how to do things properly and shows things in different ways. So different learners it helps them learn in different ways. Its using prior knowledge while trying to add in new information while teaching. Its helping add on new information with using information students already had. If not having this prior knowledge it can also help with showing the information for beginning on with the rest of the lesson. You could use this tool to help write lesson plans and build new ideas and better ways to teach them. New ways to show students you may need a new way to learn how to do the lesson and get to know the information.
Hi Ashley, I can agree with you in many ways that assistive technology is a great tool for the classroom. Not only can it help students with disabilities but anyone struggling with certain material, I feel that it has changed the system of how we educate in many ways making possibilities endless.
