5 - New Technologies to try a. Blogs b. Wikis c. Google Docs d. Social Bookmarking (Del.icio.us and Diing) e. Social Networking (Twitter) f. Zamzar.com g. Snip it tools h. Wordle.com 4 - Ideas to share with others Students with disabilities can be the first beneficiaries of new media. New technologies will not make less work for teachers. UDL suggests that teachers modify representation, expression and engagemet in their classrooms. ICS Teachers don't have to use technology to differentiating instruction while using the UDL model. However ICS Teachers can continue to graphic organizers, but really cool websites for vocbulary and current events are found in binder section 2 page 13. I will SKYPE someone tonight.

3 - Principles of UDL Multiple means of representation Multiple means of expression Multiple means of engagement Used this on lesson plan on yesterday (3/26/11), but will improve on LEP.

2 - Changes in your teaching to reach all learners in the digital age I will use text to speech, blogs and wikis. I will try modify representation, expression and engagement in my classroom by using Prezi.com. Use BookShare.org I will read the books course cover to cover.

1 - BIG ideas to implement on "Monday" Present Text to Speech to my non-reading student Present a reivew of the "Dust Bowl" using Qwiki (Period Four) Present a review of the "Dust Bow" using YouTube/Zamzar.com (Period Six) I will create a Wordle for my English class.
