The document discusses personalizing learning tools to support the Common Core standards. It explores various web 2.0 tools that can be used to personalize learning and support learning anywhere, anytime. These tools are explored in the context of Universal Design for Learning, which involves multiple means of representation, expression, and engagement. Specific tools discussed include Khan Academy, TED-Ed, EdPuzzle, Gooru, digital textbooks, iBooks Author, multimedia creation tools like Glogster and Animoto, and Google Apps like Docs. The presentation concludes with strategies for implementing these tools, including professional development, connectivity testing, and digital citizenship.

10. Universal Design for
Learning
● Multiple means of representation
● Multiple means of action/expression
● Multiple means of engagement

11. Multiple Means of
Representation
Multiple means of representation affects the recognition network of
the brain, so students are able to learn the info in the way they
learn best.
- Teachers present in different ways for alternate means of
representation
- Teachers could lecture with visuals
- Students can be actively involved during the discussion (Vimeo,
screencasting)
- Provide checks for understanding and comprehension of information
- Use a flipped classroom approach to teaching and learning

12. Multiple Means of Action/
Expression
Just as learners are different, so are means of expression. Multiple
means affect the strategic network of the brain. It is the “how” of
learning.
- Teachers can have the same rubric, but allow for student choice on
how they present - diorama, infographics, slideshows, reports, QR
codes, Minecraft
- Broaden the ideas of writing - journals, online, etc.
- Create opportunities for planning and organizing
- Have students learn about their strengths, weaknesses; learning
profiles can help them identify their styles

13. Multiple Means of
Engagement
Multiple means of engagement involves the affective network,
engaging students in the “why” or “who cares” of learning.
- Take prior experience and activate students’ background
knowledge.
- Change up how you use transitions
- Allow for student voice and choice
- Allow for a variety of formats to be presented, including interactive,
comments, Google Drive, etc.
- Teach new tools with mastered tasks and new tasks with mastered
tools
