Web Conference Reflection for March 18, 2012

The week's web conference was again enlightening. I still had to merely be in attendance in order to get questions answered. I got tips on how the scenario needed to be completed. I found that we made a good choice in keeping our UDL lessons centered on the same subject and topic. My team can easily choose which facet of our topic, the American Revolution, we will use and plan to illustrate to our mentee how to conduct the lesson using tech tools to address all learners' needs. It seems to me that this week is much easier than last weeks'. That may be because I am not pushed for time. Or... it may be because I have a firmer grasp on what the assignment entails. Either way, the conference was a success.

There were websites shared by attendees that proved quite useful. Most notable of these was http://teachingwithtechnologyedld5364.wikispaces.com/. This site has an extensive list of UDL lesson plans and websites addressing this course’s assignment. If I had had access to this site before the start or at the beginning of the course, I believe it would not have been so stressful. But, perhaps the true lesson is in struggling through it and finding out about it yourself. I accepted and completed the challenge.
