The students will compare/contrast two adaptive technologies using a graphic organizer. The students will be given a chance to choose some of the best adaptive technological tools that will be useful for learner differences. Finally, the student will create a brochure to illustrates their understanding of universal design and the most useful adaptive tools for their learners. Tasks BACK

  5. Process You will be assigned to a group of 3 - 4 students. • Use 2 out of the 4 websites in order to create your own definition of Universal Design. • Answer questions in order to formulate your own ideas about universal design and how it effects your school. • Individually compare and contrast two adaptive technology software using the Venn Diagram template on Inspiration 7.5. • View all Websites pre-selected in order to construct views for your group discussion. Finally, use your group ideas & Venn Diagrams and create a brochure(2 fold) using Microsoft Publisher that encompasses the answers from the questions about universal design. BACK

  6. Process (Questions) • Are the principles of Universal Design often practiced at your school? • If so, what assistive technologies are used within your school in order to aid for learner differences? • If not, how can you make this adjustment for your classroom? • What types of assistive technologies would be good for your learners (i.e. Speech Recognition Systems, Voice Controlled Systems, Input devices, etc…)?
