No blog entry this week
Here are our goals for class on 10-29:
Students will be able to summarize the Thomas and Boysen article
in
order to apply the proposed categories to their current
instructional
setting.
Students will be able to describe Taylors modes of computing
in
education in order to identify current examples of each
function.
Students will be able to identify Perkins five facets of a
learning
environment in order to describe how information processing
technologies can figure into the instructional process.
Students will evaluate an online-text in order to identify the
definition
of universal design for learning, apply the three principles of
UDL and
assess current implementation of UDL in classrooms.
Although we are not completing blog entries, we will review
each
article in depth in class on Thursday. In order to be prepared
for
