**Learning Log #2**
In Class: In class today, we gave our IDEA presentations. It was great to see how each group interpreted the question and everyone had a different approach on it. Today we mainly talked about SETT and UDL. Before today's class, I didn't know what SETT was but after the lecture, I learned that SETT is the Student, the Environment, the Tasks, and the Tools. In the power point, it gave great questions to ask for each one when planning a lesson plan. UDL stand for Universal Design for Learning. In my other classes, we have talked about UDL but today I learned more about how to integrate technology into the mix. The equation, UDL= DI + AT (which I really like), gives a great explanation without saying much. I would I am going to use that again. In class, we also learned about Read Please, which I am in love with. I am the type of students to comprehend better when listening to books on tape. Having read please on my computer, allows me to get through the readings faster and comprehend them better. I have already emailed it to my cousin so her son can use it.

Reading: In the article by Burgstahler, it explained UDL in more depth. I really liked the 7 principles it talked about and how it gave examples for each one. It also gave instructional methods that employ the principles and examples. This was great because it help me understand what it meant. In the article, //A primer on UD in education,// it explains how to use UD in the classroom. This article talked about having web pages that are accessible for everything. Before reading this, that is one area I didn't think about being UD. I also liked when it stated "think about learners as continuum", I never thought about it in the way. I also learned about the relationship between UD and differentiated instruction. Tic-Tac-Toe was my favorite part of this article. I think that was a cute and creative way to learn. In McLane and Orkwis article, it talked about the principles talked in Burgstahler article. It also gave benefits and examples of UD in education. In the Zepp article, I liked the way they described UDL was applies the concept of UD to the learning process by developing, designing, and delivering instruction and instructional material that makes learning more accessible to all students. It also gave UDL principles for assignment instructions. All of these talked about UDL but gave a different spin on the topic. It allowed me to fully understand what UDL is and how to use it in the classroom. These articles were informative, helpful and useful.
