__**Week 2**__ Multiple Intelligence Survey: [] This survey looks at Multiple Intelligence in a simplified way. It asks a student a series of interest questions based off activities. If the student likes the activity, he/she puts a check in front of it. This survey is simple enough for preschool students to do if someone reads the survey and is appropriate for students up to fifth grade.

__**Week 3**__ For my UDL presentation, I will be making an interactive concept map.

Here are some resources I have found so far:

UDL Lesson Plans []

Scott To Ashley This is a good start and any resources you can provide for your staff is always beneficial. When I sit in a staff meeting and hear a presentation with no resources to help me I kind of tune it out. Keep looking for supplement to help your explanations.

Mike to Ashley, Aside from the broken links as you scroll down on the page, your UDL lesson plans link is helpful. I like that it is broken down by grade levels and content. The lesson on there that I found to be useful was the lesson on Inference, Simile, and Metaphor. In our reading program for our grade level, we do mini lessons to begin reading each day. Inference is one that I already did this year, but I didn't touch on simile and metaphor in any depth yet. I like that there are tech resources linked on it. Even though it is recommended for a SMARTboard, it can easily be done on a laptop. I would begin with a class discussion on similes and metaphors, and then throughout the week, move into the tech resources, and the worksheets.

__**Week 5**__ Readiness

Website: []

Please go to page 5 titled //Differentiated Instruction//. In this article, it lists 13 ways to pre-assess your students to determine their readiness skills. It gives websites that students can use to show their readiness skills. As a teacher, I like the different options it gives to use with students. If I was using this in my classroom, I would give my students a choice of 4-6 websites that they can use to show their readiness skills.

Interest Website: [] The website I have chosen is an article that explains using technology and differentiation based on students’ interests. In this article, it gives step by step directions for teachers as well as websites that teachers can use for each step. In each step, there are multiple ways of teaching this step and different websites. This allows the teacher to find the websites from each website that would best fit his/her students.

Learning Profiles

Website: []

I am really excited about finding this website. This website gives websites to support each learning style with technology in the classroom. For example, if a student is a verbal-linguistic learner he/she could make an animated short story. There are plenty of resources for each type of learner which allows for more choices to be given to the students.

Scott to Ashley I like both websites you found because they both had good information for beginning teachers to implement DI. I liked all of the examples the sites used.
