UDL Lesson Builder Reflection

UDL Lesson Builder was quite a learning experience. It reminded me of the first time I learned how to create a Madeline Hunter Lesson plan in undergrad. It is truly a reflective way to write a plan. Using the UDL lesson format forces the teacher to create and implement a lesson plan with goals, methods, materials and assessments that support learning for all students. Utilizing the UDL website allows the teacher to be guided through the lesson plan process. It also guides the teacher to rememeber and recognize that every learner is unique and processes information differently. Using the website guides you to including activities for all frameworks (Recognition, Strategic, and Affective. I feel it was very benefical to keep you in a technology/ diverse frame of mind. As a teacher of 8 years it is so easy to just use the plan I used last year. Using the UDL really made me think of how to incorporate technology to meet the needs of my diverse learners.
