UDL Means Diversity

As I am pondering what 2 courses I could make for my first graders, I thought that this would not work for me.  Then I thought about the video on Universal Design for Learning. I know that I will be getting a very diverse group of students- 2 VI (visually impaired) and one student that is super smart (and very excited to be in my class.)  I want to reach all the students and find out about their interests and needs. Since I have never had a VI student, this will be a big learning curve (they do have VI teachers that will help us.) I am thinking about doing part of my Social Studies curriculum on Google Classroom (and through Seesaw- digital portfolio.)  I might start with just one assignment a week when I get the class set of chrome books. The other online course that I plan to write is for at least one child in my class that needs to be challenged. I want to challenge him to take math to a whole new level. I teach at an applied learning center and all of the things about UDL is something that applies to my school.  I am excited to share all of this with my new principal- action & expression, representation and engagement is so part of who we are!
As I was building my course, I got over-excited about finding videos and articles about makerspace.  I then put 7 resources (that is what they call it on Google Classroom) for the first module. I was overwhelmed by just looking at what the teachers were going to be looking at.  The "2 Minute Teacher Multimedia Principle" video mentioned that people have "limited capacity." (I see that in first graders, but I also get this way on inservice days.) I decided to condense the number to 3 or 4 and then put the other resources in a bibliography for that module. This way, the participant will have a choice to look at the other resources.
