Game Plan UDL In order to carry out my plan to: engage students in exploring real-world issues and solving authentic problems using digital tools and resources (ISTE NETS-T, 2008), I will need the internet, the local new cast and paper and the expert on community politics. I may also use the expertise of the IT professionals at my school and colleagues as well.
Many of my students currently blog and many of the teachers do as well. I will go online and seek online tutorials as an additional resource to help me with digital tool and blogging. So far I have done the initial steps to set up a classroom blog, I made an appointment to meet with a community liaison and our IT personnel next Tuesday. We have a monthly grade level and subject matter meeting, and I plan to reach out to other colleagues during this meeting UDL blueprint provides a way to have flexible goals, methods, materials and assessments that accommodate learner differences. A teacher using this curriculum would offer the students multiple means of representation, engagement, and action and expression for the learners.
I love your ideas so far, and your update concerning information and resources sounds right on track to me!
I wonder if students could use BMI, heart rates at various levels of exertion, or even percentages of each food group the consume on a weekly basis to create and post charts along with voice threads as to how their data relates to national averages. Perhaps you might even strategize with a social studies teacher and they might take such a project a step further by sharing data with students from other countries, electronically. From there, they might return to the voice thread, blog, or whichever electronic medium you choose, and post a comparison of themselves to students from across the globe. Language arts might even like to use such a powerful, hands-on experience to motivate students to practice comparison contrast or persuasive writing.
I teach social studies myself, and I am always looking for ways that students can make connections with other cultures. I also know that students tend to do their best writing when it is meaningful for them.
It would be great if you could make your obesity project interdisciplinary!
Thanks so much Eva, I think the obesity project can be interdisciplinay. We can talk more on how to make that happen at a later date. We have worked on BMI and used heart rate monitors to track heart rate during exertion but not in this project specifically. Your examples are on the right track for P.E. and most teacher dont know what to say to me or how to comment so I applaud your suggestions. Charts and journals and poster are awesome in the presenting of PE information.
