1. UDL GUIDELINES: EXAMPLES AND RESOURCES
CHRISTIANIE DOR-LAMPTON
EDU620: MEETING INDIVIDUAL STUDENT NEEDS WITH TECHNOLOGY
INSTRUCTOR: ROBERT WILLIAMS
SEPTEMBER 29, 2016
3. RESOURCE SELECTED AND HOW IT WORKS
WATCHKNOW
AGE GROUP: ALL
CONTENT AREA: ALL CONTENT
THE EXAMPLE SELECTED IS USED TO PRESENT IDEAS TO STUDENTS THROUGH VIDEOS. KEY CONCEPTS IN
VARIOUS CONTENT AREAS ARE ILLUSTRATED TO GRASP THE STUDENTS ATTENTION. ALSO, THIS RESOURCE
IS AVAILABLE TO STUDENTS, PARENTS, AND TEACHERS FREE REQUIRING INTERNET ACCESS. CHILDREN CAN
NAVIGATE THROUGH THIS EDUCATIONAL WEBSITE. THE VIDOES ON THE WEBSITE ARE THE HIGHEST RATED
EDUCATIONAL MATERIAL EXAMINED BY TEACHERS.
4. KEY CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE CHECKPOINT
• HOW DOES THIS HELP LEARNERS MEET THE GOAL?
WATCHKNOW IS AVAILABLE IN THREE DIFFERENT LANGUAGES SUCH AS SPANISH, THIS HELPS LEARNERS
MEET THE GOAL BY ALIGNING WITH THE COMMON CORE STANDARDS. STUDENTS ARE ABLE TO WORK AT
THEIR OWN PACE TO VIEW A VIDOE OF INTERESTED RELATED TO THE LEARNING CONTENT.
• HOW DOES THIS ACCOUNT FOR VARIABILITY OF ALL LEARNERS?
THIS RESOURCE PROVIDES CHILDREN WITH A DIFFERENT WAY TO LEARN WHERE KEY CONCEPTS ARE
ILLUSTRATED IN A NON-LINGUSTIC MANNER.
• IS THE INFORMATION ONLY PRESENTED IN ONE MEDIA (I.E., TEXT, VIDEO, ETC.)?
INFORMATION PRESENTED IS PRESENTED IN VIDOE FORMAT TO COVER A WIDE RANGE OF MATERIAL TO
ENGAGE LEARNERS.
5. HOW CAN I IMPLEMENT RESOURCE IN MY CLASSROOM
• THIS COULD BE USED EFFECTIVELY IN MY PRE-K CLASSROOM TO REACH ALL LEARNERS. FOR EXAMPLE,
DEPENDING ON THE THEME OR STUDENTS OWN INTERESTS THEY CAN VIEW VARIOUS VIDOES ON
TOPIC OF CHOICE. I FOUND SOME VIDOES THAT ARE SHORT AND LONG WHICH WILL DEPEND ON THE
CHILDREN’S ATTENTION SPAN.
