Teaching+with+Technology+-+Week+5

For this week my team decided to select a technological product to use in order to create a sample of what the students would create. I selected and was responsible for creating a PowerPoint presentation that was based on the subject area that we selected. Using the UDL lesson that I made, I came up with a presentation that would serve as an example of what a fifth grade student would create. The PowerPoint consisted of the three areas of government and an explanation of the system of checks and balances. I recorded my voice in the presentation in order to meet the needs of the Visually Impaired students in our class. Having the students create a PowerPoint presentation will appeal to all three types of UDL learners as it allows them to gather and organize the facts they have learned in a way that is challenging and exciting. Creating this was interesting as I had to force myself to think like a fifth grader so as not to create a presentation that was at a more advanced level than was needed.
