EDLD 5364 Weekly Reflection Jo Elda Cadena

This week the stress was on the cognizance of and planning for student-centered activities for the diverse learner. We also learned to recognize the importance of professional development for the teacher in our group-based scenario. This critical support is vital to the success of our technology action plan as is the need to meet the unit and lesson goals as outlined by the UDL formats. Our team's group website created via Google, was the focal-point of our collaboration efforts and provided the hub around which we all worked whether we met in person or not. I never knew that Google's arsenal of tools included one so useful for projects such as this. Speaking of arsenals, the myriad of productivity tools available to web 2.0 users ranges from blogs, edublogs, wikis, social bookmarking websites, photo and drawing applications, photo posting and sharing, as well as online surveys, educational mapping and audio editors. All of these can be utilized and customized for learning opportunities in the classroom.
