D. Develop models to illustrate the unique and diverse life cycles of organisms other than humans
Technology Standard Addressed: Students leverage technology to take an active role in choosing,
achieving and demonstrating competency in their learning goals, informed by the learning sciences.
Students:
C. use technology to seek feedback that informs and improves their practice and to demonstrate
their learning in a variety of ways.
Universal Design for Learning (UDL): Some of the technologies from the UDL lab could benefit my
students in completing this activity. For students who have difficulty typing on a computer, they can
use narration throughout their whole Powerpoint story. For students who may have difficulty with
putting their thoughts together, they can use the computer software that allows them to type in
what they want to say and it’ll make predictions for them. Exercise ball chairs are great for students
with ADHD that have difficulty sitting stationary in a regular chair.
Reflective Practice: After designing this lesson, I think it would allow students to increase their
learning experience by allowing them to be in charge of their learning by creating this project.
Students are given an opportunity to be independent and show what they’ve learning about life
cycles and apply it to their own animal as they research more information. I think this activity would
be a great end of the unit activity for students to put all of the information they’ve learned
throughout the unit and create something unique they can keep.
