Pre/Post Lesson Assessment:
After taking the curriculum barrier tutorial and completing the UDL Guideline Educator Worksheet I can better reflect on my teaching practices thus far. I must say that I do take into account learner differences as I plan my curriculum. Although my specific curriculum doesn't specify how to accommodate various learning styles, programs like GO MATH do offer differentiated instructional strategies and materials that support UDL guidelines.
I think I am very strong in most of the first network which is Provide Multiple Means of Representation. I had examples of checkpoint 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3. I used Venn Diagrams, video clips, a word wall, a collage, and graphic organizers. However, I do need to do more in providing options for comprehension. I fell short in those areas.
My greatest obstacle I can foresee is actually having the technology available for me when I need it (such as laptops for each student). Also, I am not very tech savvy so I would have to familiarize myself with various websites and programs. I think this is a curriculum barrier as well. This may become very time consuming. However, it is my goal to implement at least 1 digital support for my struggling student.
I am like you where I fall short in comprehension. I thought I was tech savvy; however, the research and work for this class are beginning to make me think i may need to work on my use of technology.
