• Games in the Classroom. Recall that one of the
  major benefits of using technology in the
  classroom is the ability to differentiate
  instruction to meet the needs of every student in
  every lesson. Just as each student grows and
  develops at different rates, research tells us
  that students also learn in different ways. Jane
  McGonagall is an expert at differentiation
  through the use of games, which is sometimes
  described as a form of gamification. As featured
  in her engaging TED Talk (2010), Gaming can make
  a better world she discusses gamification in
  classroom contexts.

• 1st Post Due by Day 3. This discussion provides
  an opportunity to evaluate a variety of digital
  and assistive technologies for supporting diverse
  learners. Based on the required readings from
  Housand Housand (2012), McCombs (2000), and
  Page (2002), you know that research shows that
  effective technology integration can support
  student motivation, engagement, and interest in
  learning. Furthermore, research has shown that
  through thoughtful integration of audio, video,
  and other media, instruction can be
  differentiated, ultimately increasing a students
  motivation to learn. To explore this research, in
  this discussion you will analyze how technology
  integration can be used as a method of
  intervention to meet the needs of diverse
  learners. To prepare for this discussion, review
  the Week Two Instructor Guidance and the Required
  Resources for the week. Next, access either The
  Teaching Channel or Edutopia and conduct a search
  using the key words using technology for
  learning motivation or similar. Select one video
  that can inform your response to the discussion
  points below. If for some reason you are unable
  to support your response to this discussion using
  the video option, please contact your instructor
  for an alternative way to complete this

• This assignment provides the opportunity for you
  to apply the principles of universal design for
  learning (UDL) in the design of instruction and
  assessment. Recall that UDL provides access to
  the curriculum for students with a wide variety
  of abilities and background. Therefore, UDL
  aligns with inclusionary practices found in
  todays schools. Furthermore, assistive
  technology supports the UDL framework to provide
  a means of learning for students with
  disabilities. To prepare for this assignment,
  review the CAST (2010) video, UDL at a glance
  and review the Explore model UDL lesson plans
  (2011) web page, both of which are listed in the
  Week Three Required Resources. Be sure to also
  review the Week Three Instructor Guidance page
  for additional intellectual elaboration on UDL
  and assistance with this assignment.

• This discussion is an opportunity for you to
  apply the principles of Universal Design for
  Learning (UDL) in the design of instruction and
  assessment. In essence, UDL provides a blueprint
  for creating instructional goals, methods,
  materials, and assessments that work for all
  learners. To prepare for this discussion, in
  addition to reviewing the Required Resources for
  Week Three, view the CAST (2010) video UDL at a
  Glance and the Week Three Instructor Guidance
  where additional assistance for excelling in this
  discussion and intellectual elaboration about UDL
  is provided.
• Initial Post Create an initial response that
  addresses the following areas.
• a. Provide a succinct summary, in your own words,
  of the key concepts that make up UDL.
• b. Discuss how UDL and the incorporation of
  technology can be used to individualize learning
  for students with varied backgrounds

• This discussion is an opportunity to further
  demonstrate your ability to apply the principles
  of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to the
  design of instruction and assessment. As you
  learned last week from reading Edyburn (2013)
  Chapter 5 and viewing the CAST (2010) video UDL
  at a Glance, the three main principles supporting
  UDL are to Provide Multiple Means of (a)
  Representation (the what of learning), (b)
  Action and Expression (the how of learning),
  and (c) Engagement (the why of learning). For
  this discussion you will review technology
  checkpoints as they relate to the three main
  principles of UDL. IT may be helpful to review
  the Week Three Instructor Guidance page where UDL
  is explored in the intellectual elaboration and
  to take time now to review your feedback from the
  Week Three assessments as well. Then, to prepare
  for this discussion, read the Week Four
  Instructor Guidance and then visit the UDL
