This assignment is designed to make connections between key learning theories and UDL principles in the context of our three Focus Students.
Deliverable
Create an electronic presentation (Prezi, PPT, Weebly, etc.) on Learning Theories. You must include for each given theory the connections to UDL and also to your current teaching schema of your whole class and your 3 Focus Students (ITL 604). How are you currently using theories in your teaching practices, and which learners are you targeting this learning theory for (who does it provide additional access to?).
You must provide a reference page and have citations throughout your presentation of the learning theories. Be creative – you may use videos, pictures, charts, or other multimedia (be sure to use citations).
Consider extending your learning to try something new other than PowerPoint, as it is a limited technological presentation tool. In addition, in your future writing of the CalTPA2 exam, you will have to use technology as a teaching tool to increase student learning, and not simply a presentation, and you should expose yourself to other presentation tools to create maximum student engagement. Here are some direct links for you to consider. These are all available for free. You can also be creative and venture out some other tools that are not listed here. The one consideration is that it must be viewable, for free, without a need for a subscription service. Note that the assignment states PowerPoint, and this is fully acceptable if you plan to submit in this format.
