to a 10th grade high school student who has autism. This is important
because this is the time in students lives when they are implementing their
transition programs in order to prepare for graduation and learn the skills
necessary to care for themselves to the best of their abilities. Teaching life
skills needs to be very hands on. We feel showing students videos and
filming them with flip video cameras will help them visualize and
comprehend the actions more fully. We would like for this student to have
a video archive to reference if these skills are forgotten in the future. For
example, we could film how to ride the bus, grocery shop, do laundry,
count money and order food at a restaurant. Through the usage of other
forms of technology such as iPads and computer programs students will
visualize and then complete activities. Another idea is the usage of Word
Bingo with places in the community they will be visiting. These ideas are all
adaptable for student's unique needs. This is not a complete, full plan as of
yet, but is a rough set of ideas of where we want to take the project.
Our Challenge
Students were challenged to design an educational
experience for a child facing a learning challenge. This
experience allowed students to showcase the purposeful
integration of digital technologies and new media, and to
reflect on the teachings of Universal Design for Learning.
Lesson Plan
Students develop a well-thought and attainable plan for
the experience/intervention, including instructional
materials, student work, and assessment.
Instructional Materials
Students link all instructional materials created for the
experience/intervention, as well as any student work
samples.

Instructions for tasks
Analysis/Discussion
Students author a critical overarching reflection on the
entire project.
This project brought my attention to the importance of the
Universal Design for Learning and the idea of making a
learning environment that can enable all students to gain
knowledge. By including technology into a student’s IEP,
all types of learners are allowed to apply themselves to
the learning experience in various ways. Creating a
lesson plan and deciding what materials to use allow
Universal Design to be planned out before implementing
the activity with the students. All students will benefit in
some way from this project, accomplishing the goal of a
teacher to reach all students.
