Universal Design ThingLink Library Floor Plan/Virtual Tour

 This week's assignment was to Create a virtual tour of an inclusive library. I needed to Include ADA and UDL elements to show that my library is accessible. Since I am not currently teaching at al library. I selected an image of a library that I thought would be my ideal library setting. Check out the link below to see my library virtual tour.

Edpuzzle

This week's assignment was to teach my classmates how to do something, and I couldn't think of a more timely and practical topic than Edpuzzle. Edpuzzle is an innovative and highly effective educational tool transforming how teachers engage with their students, both in the physical classroom and virtual learning environments. This blog post I'll explore what Edpuzzle is, why teachers need it, and how it can be a lifesaver when creating substitute teacher plans. What is Edpuzzle? Edpuzzle is an interactive video platform specifically designed for education. It allows teachers to transform traditional videos into engaging, interactive learning experiences. With Edpuzzle, educators can customize, crop, and add quizzes, voiceovers, and audio notes to any video content. This makes the learning process more interactive and enables teachers to monitor students' progress and gather valuable insights into their understanding of the material. Why is Edpuzzle Important for Tea...

Creating Inclusive and Accessible Learning Environments with Universal Design

This week's asignment was all about Universal Design. So what is Universal Design exactly? Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is an educational framework that aims to make learning accessible to all students. The UDL guidelines emphasize flexibility in the design of instructional materials, activities, and assessments to accommodate a wide range of learner diversity. To embrace UDL effectively, educators can follow three primary principles: multiple means of representation, multiple means of action and expression, and multiple means of engagement.(CAST, 2010) I wanted to explore what elements of Universal Design I implemented in my teaching. So I decided to explore this... Which Guidelines Was I Already Using? While I might not have been explicitly following UDL guidelines, I had already incorporated some UDL principles into my teaching practice. For instance, I provided my students with a choice board to express their findings in multiple formats. This aligned with the UDL p...
