Welcome Back!UDL-PCGWebinar 2 UDL Guidelines April 16
Review from last week What is your 30 second ‘elevator’ speech: • Someone asks you ‘what is UDL?’ and you say…
Highlights • UDL is a framework for thinking about what we know from neuroscience about learning : • tremendous variability • Learning happens at intersection of learner in context • Inspired from Universal Design, architecture
Learning Brain & UDL Guidelines • Recognition: the “what” of learning • Multiple means of representation • Strategic Network: the “how” • Multiple means of action and expression • Affective Network: the “why” • Multiple means of engagement
Expert learners • Resourceful, knowledgeable • Strategic, goal directed • Purposeful, motivated • Use the UDL Guidelines to help design learning environments that support all learners
1st Guideline: Recognition Network: “what of learning” • Identify & interpret patterns of sound, light, taste, smell, and touch
Take 5 minutes & explore perceptual illusions: http://michaelbach.de/ot/ • ‘tricks’ our perception & expectations • Find one optical illusion to share
Options for presenting information • Customize display • Alternatives for auditory & visual information CAST 2012
Options for language & symbols • Vocabulary, symbols • Cross-language supports • Multi-media CAST 2012
Support vocabulary • Plasticity • Like plastic, flexible and can bend • The brain shows plasticity, it changes when you use it. • Latin: Moveable, changeable
Options for comprehension • background knowledge • Highlight patterns • Maximize transfer CAST 2012
Importance of background information • Antiques Roadshow
Tell Me More: explore and share 1 idea from Principle 1 CAST 2012
Multiple Means of Representation CAST 2012
Multiple Means of Representation CAST 2012
Reflect: • What Multiple Means of Perception do you already have in your module design? • What new ideas do you have based on what you learned today? • Variability in perception, language, background • Context
Variability & Recognition network Count how many times the players wearing white pass the basketball. CAST 2012
“We are designed to focus on whatever we are looking for.” Jill Bolte Taylor, Stroke of Insight
Summary: UDL is a framework • For thinking & reflecting about lessons • For addressing variability & context for learning • Variability of perception • Design of learning experiences to support Questions?
