Links and ideas about final projects

A few excellent suggestions and questions have arisen from sections about final projects for T560.

I wanted to provide several links to helpful information

http://www.cast.org/publications/UDLguidelines/version1.html (UDL Guidelines- helpful in thinking about what UDL is)

http://lessonbuilder.cast.org/(Lesson Builder- helpful in thinking about what to consider as you build your lesson).

http://udlselfcheck.cast.org/ (UDL self-check- helpful after you have a lesson to work with)


Some people have found it helpful to think about the UDL curriculum in terms of

Goals
Methods
Materials
Assessment

One student noted that it was very helpful to use a lesson found online to think about barriers (http://www.cast.org/teachingeverystudent/tools/curriculumbarriers.cfm) in the goals, methods, materials, and assessments. After considering barriers it was then helpful to consider multiple means of representation, multiple means of expression, and multiple means of engagement.
