Purpose: The purpose of this session is to provide a toolbox of strategies for how to leverage existing Google tools in the inclusion classroom to support the diverse learning needs of all students.
Objectives: Participants will review the components of the Universal Design for Learning framework. Participants will discover strategies for providing multiple means of representation, action and expression, and engagement using Google tools. Participants will explore strategies for using available technologies to adapt instruction and assessment for all learners’ needs, including providing scaffolding, modifications, accommodations, and progress tracking.
Educational Challenge: One-size-fits-all is not accessible for all learners. Instruction needs to be designed with individual learner needs in mind. As we move toward inclusive models of education, this idea becomes increasingly important.
- Introduction: Inclusion Classrooms (2 minutes)
- Universal Design for Learning Framework (8 minutes)
- Supportive Strategies with Google tools (40 minutes)
- Brainstorm: Ideas to Implement (5 minutes)
- Final Q&A (5 minutes)
Participants in this session will choose the order in which they want to review the strategies in the session. Participants will see a preview of each Google-infused strategy, including the barrier it eliminates, the modification or accommodation it provides, or the support it gives. The order of the strategy presentation will be based on the interest of the participants in the audience.
