Teaching EVERY Student in Today's Digital World

(Inspiration and WOW!)

1.  Welcome & General Introduction

Universal Design for Learning calls for ...

• Multiple means of representation, to give learners various ways of acquiring information and knowledge,

• Multiple means of expression, to provide learners alternatives for demonstrating what they know,

• Multiple means of engagement, to tap into learners' interests, offer appropriate challenges, and increase motivation.

2.  Series Overview

brief listing and description of planned sessions

3.  Introductory Video(s)

We can choose from among these videos.  I suggest we use at least two or three of them with some commentary in between.  It might be dramatic to actually show one of these even before our initial welcome and introduction.  We could even do this first session as a series of thematically connected videos.  Needless to say, we would need to ensure that videos had streamed in advance, etc.

           a.  Telling the New Story

           b. The Connected Classroom (Education: A Lesson in History)

       c.   Classroom 2.0:  To Snooze or Not to Snooze

       d.  Pay Attention

We might even consider using a slideshow such as the one below:
