Week 3 course reflection
This week has been all about the UDL and eBook from cast.com. From what I have found, the UDL is the same as our ever-beloved 5E lesson model. The difference is all in the framework the UDL presents. It captures not only the "what" and how" of learning, but also the "why." It's purpose is to effectively provide the multiple avenues for students learn within contexts that are interesting and familiar to them and reach achievement.
The eBook provides another avenue to teach. With the ability to bring in pictures, audio, and writing, you can provide your students with another way to receive content, instructions, etc. The possibilities are only limited by the teacher's creativity. It is better than a video in this one aspect: It allows the students to go their pace even better. They don't have to stop or pause it get the information. It is on the page. It has a text-to-speech function that is great for those students who need that as an intervention. If they need to hear the audio part again, they do not have to guess where to go like a video. It should be a quick replay on that page. It gives the students more control over their learning.
