Wiki Spaces Toolkit


The previous post discusses a case study, where the teacher constantly adjusts her lesson plans to add UDL. The toolkit website listed below is a great resource that allows the option to add UDL into the classroom. I connected on the links that had different math activities. This year teaching second graders new math material can be confusing and boring if only using a textbook to work from in class. Therefore, I add different manipulatives and visuals to engage and grab the students’ attention. When they are intrigued the have the want to learn.

The toolkit allows access to achieving this in your classroom. I enjoyed the links to thedigital clock. This link allows a great visual for the students to practice what has been learned. The students are able to pick any time to see how it look like on the clock. The teacher can also use this link to model how to tell time.

Another link that was useful was the XIL Math site. The teacher can go to the grade and the topic bei f taught.  This site can be used for review and a different style assessment for the students. While teaching regrouping, I would have the students solve the problems on the Smart Board or on a tablet. This allows the students to be involved in technology and engaged in their work.
