3  Definition:

4  Framework

5  Basic Components of Planning Pyramid What some students will learn. What most students will learn. What ALL students will learn. Pat Miranda, PhD. University of British Columbia

6  Types of Technology developed for our project: ◦ Photoshop ◦ Digital Social Stories ◦ Movie Maker ◦ Digital Stories ◦ Webquests ◦ MP3s

7  Other Technologies considered in schools

8  Children’s Brains are only 25% developed at birth. The more stimulation a child has through all of it’s senses (hearing, taste, touch, smell, sight) the more rapidly further development will occur (M. Fox, 2008).

9 The original principles developed by architects, engineers etc. are as follows:  Equitable Use - The design is useful and marketable to people with diverse abilities.  Flexibility in Use – The design accommodates a wide range of individual preferences and abilities.  Simple and Intuitive – Use of the design is easy to understand, regardless of the user’s experience, knowledge, language skills, or current concentration level.  Perceptible Information – The design communicates necessary information effectively to the user, regardless of ambient conditions or the user’s sensory abilities.  Tolerance for Error – The design minimizes hazards and the adverse consequences of accidental or unintended actions.  Low Physical Effort – The design can be used efficiently and comfortably and with a minimum of fatigue.  Size and Space for Approach and Use – Appropriate size and space are provided for approach, reach, manipulation and use; regardless of user’s body size, posture, or mobility. (The Center for Universal Design, 2009, p. 1-2)

10  Guidelines and Definition: ◦ Class Climate: Adopt practices that reflect high values with respect to both diversity and inclusiveness. ◦ Interaction: Encourage regular and effective interactions between students and the instructor and ensure that communication methods are accessible to all participants. ◦ Physical Environments and Products: Ensure that facilities, activities, materials and equipment are physically accessible to and usable by all students, and that all potential student characteristics are addressed in safety considerations. ◦ Delivery methods: Use multiple, accessible instructional methods that are accessible to all learners.

11 ◦ Information resources and technology: Ensure that course materials, notes and other information resources are engaging and accessible for all students. ◦ Feedback: Provide specific feedback on a regular basis. ◦ Assessment: Regularly assess student progress using multiple accessible methods and tools, and adjust instruction accordingly. ◦ Accommodation: Plan for accommodations for students whose needs are not met by the instructional design.
