Using a Promethean Board as a UDL Tool
Online Self Study Project
UDL, or universal design for learning, is a framework that helps teachers present instruction for ALL students without having to retrofit, or create separate learning experiences for struggling students. A Promethean Board is an excellent tool for this purpose. Make the most out of your board and earn 3 E-TIPS hours at the same time.
Specific Project Tasks
- Spend some time learning about universal design for learning (UDL) by reviewing the UDL Resources on the HIAT website.
- Create a resource in Activestudio or ActiveInspire that uses the principles of UDL to include all students in learning.
- Share your resource with other teachers by uploading it to the Instruction Center.
Your resource can be simple as long as it supports a UDL Principle. It should not take a long time to make. The purpose here is to demonstrate understanding of how a UDL lens helps you create learning materials for your students and to share with fellow teachers.
