Week+3+Reflections

The entire process of creating a lesson using the UDL model is really fascinating. Since I work in video a lot the entire process of creating a lesson that incorporates video and meets sound educational theory is exciting and challenging. I have been tossing around the idea of using book trailers as a way to encourage reading in our student for several months. The lesson project we are working on right now is the perfect opportunity to firm up my ideas and try them out on my GT video students. We are incorporating a number of TEKS into this assignment by addressing the ELA goals and by taking students into some of the more challenging Tech Apps TEKS. In addition by giving ownership of the projects to the students they will be using several problem solving strategies to accomplish their project goals on time and within the design parameters of the assignment.
