Video+Segments

= = Video Segments:


 * David Rose on UDL:
 * Part 3: []
 * Part 4: [] (from 2:51 to the end)
 * Part 5: []
 * Your goal is to watch these three segments together as a team and discuss amongst yourselves the focal issues listed on the Stations/Exercise direction sheet.
 * Extract from the discussions and videos the most important ideas for understanding and implementing UDL.

__Part 3__ Video 1 @ 3:19
 * discusses how different parts of the brain are used to process different language tasks, like hearing spoken words, speaking, seeing written words, and generating words. It also compared the brain function of a person with dyslexia versus a "normal" person and discusses how there is no one type of intelligence because the brain functions differently for each person and for each task. Given this information, one way to implement UDL in classrooms would be to address multiple modalities in classroom activities to activate the different areas of a student's brain. One thing that would be difficult given this information would be assessing a student who is weak in one of the functions but the standard or objective of the lesson requires that type of function to be used. For example, if a student does not function as well with reading written words but it is a reading assessment, they are at a disadvantage.

__Part 4__ Video 2 @ 4:56
 * discussed universal design of books . Books are disabled in what they teach and the way they teach it: requires the ability to read, hold the book, and turn the pages.
 * Some ways to universally design a book would be to enlarge text, change language, change to audio book, put music in the background for affect, enlarge page side, and highlight word by word with adjustable pacing rate. All adaptations are customizable for the reader's needs.
 * The challenge for using this technology is that it is not available for all students because of availability and cost. The program is called //Thinking Reader//

__Part 5__
 * discussed an interactive book that was specialized for the student's goal of summarizing.
 * There is a help option with guiding hints and questions that lead the student to summarize while reading,
 * Video 3 @ 1:07
 * examples of help.
