I. Introduction Quiz (Christina)
A. What are diverse learners?
B. Answer
II. Universal Design (Jillisa)
A. Definition
B. Seven Principles
1. Equitable use-achieved via technology/digital texts
2. Flexibility in use-differentiated instruction
3. Simple and intuitive use-content presented clearly, in “student” language, and
takes into account students’ schema, language, skills& concentration level
4. Perceptible information-using varied ways to present, practice, curriculum and
content (illustrations, tactile experiences, using manipulatives)
5. Tolerance for error-Software design that takes students through the
instructional processes when errors are made. Educators need to use also by
providing individual, immediate feedback and scaffolding.
6. Low physical effort-designing activities/lessons efficiently, so students don’t
get fatigued
7. Size and space for approach and use-most frequently violated. When using
tech. make sure all students can see from anywhere in the room and that the
content isn’t too small or too big.
