The'technology'tool'for'this'lesson'is'a'website'called'cKQ12.'The'technology'tool'definitely'supports'the'UDL'
principles'and'enhances'the'learning'experience'for'all'students.'As'a'reminder,'the'principles'for'the'UDL'are'
representation'(the'“what”'of'learning),'expression'(the'“how”'of'learning),'and'engagement'(the'“why”'of'
learning).'cKQ12'is'a'great'tool'for'providing'multiple'means'of'representation.'This'technology'tool'is'mainly'
an'eQbook,'but'with'interactives'and'pictures'embedded'into'it.'So,'students'can'read'it'like'a'traditional'
textbook,'see'visuals'through'the'pictures,'and'even'see'examples'and'demonstrations'with'the'interactives.'
For'the'second'principle'of'the'UDL,'expression,'students'can'show'what'they'know'by'answering'the'
interactives,'demonstrating'their'knowledge'in'the'“other'ways'to'learn”'section'that'includes'realQlife'
scenario'and'videos,'and'also'engaging'in'the'provided'practice.'The'last'principle'of'the'UDL'is'engagement.'
cKQ12'is'also'a'great'tool'for'keeping'students'engaged.'As'mentioned'above,'this'technology'tool'has'many'
different'simulations'and'activities'for'student'to'interact'with'to'test'their'knowledge.'I'believe'having'these'
small'breaks'between'paragraphs'of'reading'makes'it'easier'for'students'to'stay'on'track,'rather'than'having'
them'read'straight'through'a'text'book.'Students'can'also'stay'engaged'by'using'the'highlighter'and'notes'
function.'These'functions'allow'students'to'highlight'things'they'think'are'important'and'also'make'notes'of'
key'ideas'or'questions'they'may'want'to'ask'later.'Overall,'this'technology'tool'has'many'different'functions'
that'appeal'to'many'different'types'of'learners,'so'everyone'can'learn'the'content'the'way'they'want'to.''

Lesson,idea,implementation:,
!
For'this'project,'students'will'start'by'going'through'section'5.1'Descriptive'Statistics'on'cKQ12'on'their'own.'
This'section'will'teach'students'how'to'summarize'data'from'different'scenarios.'Students'will'also'learn'how'
to'represent'data'using'graphs'and'boxQplots.''
'
As'students'go'through'this'section'on'cKQ12,'they'can'launch'interactives'to'test'their'knowledge,'try'
different'activities,'highlight'key'information,'make'their'own'notes,'and'even'do'practice'problems.'Once'
students'complete'this'section,'they'will'research'a'topic'and'represent'the'data'in'a'table,'graphically,'and'
with'a'box'plot.'An'example'of'something'they'could'research'is'the'average'number'of'homeruns'scored'by'
every'baseball'team,'rainfall'each'day'in'Georgia'during'the'month'of'June,'etc.'Students'may'create'their'
tables,'graphs,'and'box'plots'through'Excel,'PowerPoint,'Prezi,'GoogleDocs,'GoogleSlides,'or'even'by'creating'
their'own'poster'with'the'required'information.'This'project'is'estimated'to'take'3Q4'days'to'complete.'As'
students'are'completing'this'project,'I'will'walk'around'to'answer'questions,'provide'openQended'questions'
to'get'students'to'think'on'a'deeper'level,'compare'what'each'student'decided'to'highlight'or'make'note'of,'
etc.'Students'will'then'present'their'projects'to'the'class'and'they'will'be'assessed'on'their'tables,'graphs,'and'
boxQplots.'If'students'have'the'correct'graphs'and'box'plots'that'correspond'to'their'table,'then'I'will'know'
that'they'understand'how'to'interpret'and'represent'data'from'different'scenarios.'If'a'student’s'graph'
and/or'box'plot'does'not'correspond'to'their'table,'then'I'know'that'there'is'a'disconnect'between'having'the'
data,'and'knowing'how'to'interpret'that'data'in'other'forms.'While'students'are'presenting,'I'will'make'notes'
and'comments'for'them'on'paper,'which'they'will'receive'at'the'end'of'the'class'period.''
'
After'the'conclusion'of'this'project,'I'will'have'a'better'idea'of'which'students'have'a'good'understanding'of'
interpreting'and'representing'data'in'different'forms,'and'which'ones'do'not.'The'students'who'do'
understand,'will'get'extension'activities.'These'extension'activities'will'include'a'table'with'a'large'amount'of'
data'points'that'they'have'to'graph'and'create'the'box'plot'for.'Another'extension'would'be'to'have'a'graph'

and'box'plot'already'done,'and'the'student'has'to'create'a'corresponding'table'and'justify'why'their'table'
goes'with'the'already'existing'boxQplot'and'graph.'For'students'who'struggled'with'the'project,'I'will'review'
how'to'create'the'graphs'and'box'plots'from'given'data.'Students'will'then'pair'up'and'work'together'to'solve'
some'practice'problems.'At'the'conclusion'of'this'lesson,'I'will'create'a'Kahoot'for'the'students'to'participate'
in.'This'Kahoot'will'feature'key'terms'and'also'practice'problems.''
'
Reflective,Practice:,!
!
After'creating'this'lesson,'I'feel'as'though'students'would'get'a'lot'out'of'this'lesson.'Since'this'lesson'is'for'
high'school'students,'it'is'easy'for'them'to'get'distracted'and'bored'during'a'normal'lecture.'By'allowing'them'
to'be'in'charge'of'their'own'learning'and'how'they'learn'the'content,'then'they'have'the'freedom'to'do'what'
they'want,'which'will'help'them'stay'more'engaged.'Also,'since'the'can'research'any'data'they'want,'they'will'
most'likely'chose'data'from'something'that'interests'them,'which'also'makes'the'lesson'more'engaging'and'
relevant'to'them.'
