My First Update During EDUC 6714

Well, we are two weeks into our course and already I have learned so much about how to use technology to not only give my students greater access, but to make them more motivated and active in their learning. This week at my school, I have been working on developing an online course. I have been amazed at how much fun this has been for me. I have been able to pull many elements from our Walden courses (like how to evaluate Web sites or use effective searching techniques) and have been especially mindful of the diversity that exists and how to reach all learners with elements I am including. I am looking forward to learning more about Universal Design for Learning and Differentiated Instruction, and how I can incorporate these concepts with the help of technology.
