Blog post #G.....chapter 10.

Topic one.. Universal Design for learning.. which is a concept of architecture, which is a new approach in which schools can better serve all students to the best of their ability. This means that students with adaptations can move around freely. For example students in wheelchairs can get from the street to the sidewalk safely. The UDL has also used many advancements to accommodate a broad span of students needs when it comes to the design in the curriculum.
Topic two....Word clouds, which is a visual representation of words or text. This cloud allows a person to view a large amount of words in one visual setting. This type of program uses a document and finds the most common and or keywords to be pick out and put into a visual perspective. As seen above I have done an example for chapter 10. I have listed the main point and keywords for this chapter and the program has rearranged the words to flow and help one get a perspective on what chapter 10 in this case would be about.
Topic two... Adaptations for classroom learning with technology. There are three types of accommodations, low-tech, mid-tech and high-tech. Sounds a little complicated but to put it in another perspective and to give you a short definition to explain each of these would be as followed. Low tech would be considered easy and without digital materials. Mid tech allows digital materials and can give leeway in the curriculum. High tech is where computers and other specialized material are in the classroom.  I do believe that if a child is not understand or needs extra help because of a disability this is how it comes into play.
