Universal Design for Learning (UDL): This lesson is very inclusive as it is easily accessible, easy to use, and
addresses the standards. Students are easily engaged in the lesson as they are watching a video, with volume,
and with many different colors and things on the slides.
Lesson idea implementation: Addressing the standard, students will be actively paying attention and listening
to the video. The project will be introduced by first reviewing counting 1 through 10 and then adding it to
counting on our fingers. This helps connect the relationship between quantities and numbers. This lesson
should only take one class period to complete and then review the next day to see if everyone fully grasped
the lesson. The final product would be used to differentiate learning by with everyday things.

It would help when counting money to the whole dollar as you could visually see 3 dollar bills. To extend this
lesson, we could simply use bigger numbers to 25 or 50. To conclude this lesson, I could have the students
draw their own examples of numbers with their correct quantities and then that would be their grade
assessment for the standard. The only feedback to give to the students would be if they did not successfully
do the assignment with an 80 or above, being that they messed up on their quantities when drawing different
things.

Importance of technology: This technology allows for other students to use their learning styles to their
advantage. With having different standards and varying learning styles available for students, it can drastically
improve how they feel about learning when they are confident in the way it is taught. If teachers keep
lecturing and then follow the lesson with a worksheet, not every student is able to grasp that concept as
easily as some of the other students that are auditory or kinesthetic learners. With having audio and video, it
helps everyone learn in a new way and it also breaks everything up so each day isn’t the exact same. Some

students might like the predictability, but the best thing to do would be to tell them the day before what their
going to do, so it doesn’t throw them completely off guard and then the students have behavioral issues.
Internet Safety and Student Privacy: There aren’t very many issues as far as internet safety as post students
just should be able to click on the link and then able to see the video. To minimize student risk, any
assignment following the video would be on paper and something that the students turn into me directly.
Parents or administrators shouldn’t have any fears because all the students are doing is clicking on a direct
link and then answering questions on a worksheet.
Reflective Practice: I think this lesson gives students a break from the regular classroom flow and could
positively help their learning. The teacher could also take a class vote and if most of the class liked watching a
video and completing a worksheet, then the teacher could do it for often in the future.
