  3. Introduction You are going to be a detective for Cambridge Bureau of Investigation (C.B.I.) and discover how universal design effects your school and what types of adaptive technologies are useful for learner differences within your school. How does universal design effect your classroom? Things that make you go hhmmmmmm....... BACK

  4. Students will RESEARCH the internet in order to find more information about universal design. In a cooperative group setting student will define and develop ideas about universal design. The students will compare/contrast two adaptive technologies using a graphic organizer. The students will be given a chance to choose some of the best adaptive technological tools that will be useful for learner differences. Finally, the student will create a brochure to illustrates their understanding of universal design and the most useful adaptive tools for their learners. Tasks BACK

  5. Process You will be assigned to a group of 3 - 4 students. • Use 2 out of the 4 websites in order to create your own definition of Universal Design. • Answer questions in order to formulate your own ideas about universal design and how it effects your school. • Individually compare and contrast two adaptive technology software using the Venn Diagram template on Inspiration 7.5. • View all Websites pre-selected in order to construct views for your group discussion. Finally, use your group ideas & Venn Diagrams and create a brochure(2 fold) using Microsoft Publisher that encompasses the answers from the questions about universal design. BACK

  6. Process (Questions) • Are the principles of Universal Design often practiced at your school? • If so, what assistive technologies are used within your school in order to aid for learner differences? • If not, how can you make this adjustment for your classroom? • What types of assistive technologies would be good for your learners (i.e. Speech Recognition Systems, Voice Controlled Systems, Input devices, etc…)? Find Four Products! • Do you believe that Microsoft PowerPoint and Microsoft Word can be considered as adaptive technologies? If so, how? If not, why? • Do you believe that NCLB aids or hinder the principles of Universal Design? BACK
