THING 6 - DIFFERENTIATION

Part 3 - Universal Design for Learning

I chose to visit the site called Universal Design for Learning: Strategies, Tools, and Resources. The video was very informative and reinforced the three main points for designing learning experiences to make sure everyone is a successful learner. The main theme is to provide multiple means of presentation, action & expression, and engagement. Being flexible and allowing choices gives learners more than one pathway to learning the content of my lessons. Again, it is difficult to find resources that are applicable specifically to physical education. However, I did explore Wordle and made a few word clouds using terms from both our badminton and personal conditioning units. This is a neat way to display the vocabulary used in these units. The most often used words are bolder and larger, therefore, they really pop out at you. This is a good visual reminder of some of the main terms used in those units.
