EDLD 5364: Creating a UDL

Using the UDL Lesson Builder was a new experience for me since we have different criteria for lesson building in my district. We use curriculum to explore, engage, explain, evaluate, and elaborate the concepts. Thinking about learning as far as a brain function was also new to me. Rather than thinking of the lesson in one dimension, the IDL and brain strategy networks helped me see the lesson from many viewpoints. This actually helped me considering my students are a variety of learners and learn in different ways. This helped me to differentiate my lesson to meet the needs of my learners. This strategy allowed me to align my lesson so students could gather facts using technology. They will then be able to plan and perform activities in order to strengthen their comprehension. I want to challenge my students and keep them engaged and excited about learning and I believe using the UDL layout will allow me to make sure I have added all the necessary components.
