Reflection Week 8

• Describe any immediate adjustments you will make to your instructional practice regarding the use of technology integration to customize instruction as a result of your learning from this course.

Using UDL or DI in my classroom will help my special education and ELL students along with the rest of the class. The immediate adjustments that I can make will make a difference in the classroom hopefully right away. I can make adjustments by having calculators, manipulatives, and a couple of classroom computers available to my students.

My students with learning disabilities will benefit immediately by the usage of calculators and manipulatives in the classroom. It will help the students overcome the barriers that are holding them back.

My autistic students will benefit immediately by allowing them to use my classroom computers to express themselves along with the calculators and manipulatives to do the math that is required of them.

As for my gifted and talented students, my immediate changes will allow them to excel in the subject matter.

As for any other changes, they will not be immediate. I would want to implement some computer programs and Internet options (blogging, WIKI, etc). The school would need time to obtain if possible the programs needed and also to give me permission to use the internet options.

I look forward to implementing UDL/DI into my classroom to help provide my students with an even better opportunity to learn in my class.
