In a cooperative group setting student will
define and develop ideas about universal design.
The students will compare/contrast two
adaptive technologies using a graphic organizer.
The students will be given a chance to choose
some of the best adaptive technological tools
that will be useful for learner differences.

brochure(2 fold) using Microsoft Publisher that encompasses
the answers from the questions about universal design.
BACK

Process

(Questions)

1. Are the principles of Universal Design often practiced at your school?
 If so, what assistive technologies are used within your school
in order to aid for learner differences?
 If not, how can you make this adjustment for your classroom?
2. What types of assistive technologies would be good for your learners
(i.e. Speech Recognition Systems, Voice Controlled Systems, Input
devices, etc…)? Find Four Products!
3. Do you believe that Microsoft PowerPoint and Microsoft Word can be
considered as adaptive technologies? If so, how? If not, why?
4. Do you believe that NCLB aids or hinder the principles of Universal
Design?
