UDL+LESSON

UDL LESSON PLAN REFLECTIONS  The UDL template for lesson design enables an educator to have a uniform method for creating educational lessons for utilization in the classroom. The format gives a user an opportunity to ensure that all three of the networks presented are implemented within the lesson design. Rose, D. & Meyer, A. (2002) put forth the idea that “Successful learning experiences challenge and support each learner appropriately //and // adjust as the learner changes over time” (Introduction, para. 2). While I was going through the lesson creation process I realized that the variation in activities helps to meet the standard of this concept. I found that as I went through the template, the process was a little bit more involved than creating a normal lesson in that the steps seemed to be more integrated and focused on creating a target set of conditions for students to learn. This form of lesson creation and technology integration is essential to creating success based lessons because students are eager to learn when the proper learning environment is created (Pitler, Hubbell, Kuhn, Malensoski, 2007) and I will probably use the template in the future for planning for my students. The time that was spent reflecting on the recognition, strategic and affective network planning was indeed worthwhile and it helped me to organize my thoughts for how I wanted the lesson to be presented and the level of interaction that I expected the students to have.
