Theory
In education, there are guidelines called Universal Design for Learning (UDL) that assist in reducing or eliminating barriers and implementing practices to allow for quality instruction for all students. In this day and age, finding useful technology for the use of teachers and students can benefit from its advances. Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) ensures the set of lessons and goals needed to effectively educate students while also including technology.
UDL
Here is an example of the 3 UDL Principles and their involvement with educating students to the fullest extent! This design is divided by 3 elements; engagement, representation, action/expression. Students utilize each to best demonstrate their way of learning. Teachers should use this strategy to help all learners in their preferred style of learning. The link below also provides more information on each principle and how to alternate different approaches in the classroom.
TPACK
Using this technological framework allows for ease in combining the several elements needed to integrate the different ways of learning. TPACK combines content, pedagogy, and technology to guide students in their education capabilities. These strategies are helpful in teaching concepts to enhance their experience. In classroom examples can range from videos, lectures, games, and cooperative learning. The image shows a visual description of what this looks like and a link to learn more!
