Universal'Design'for'Learning'(UDL):'''
!
The'Student'Response'System'tool'I'chose'for'this'lesson'was'Kahoot!.'This'SRS'tool'can'support'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).'Kahoot!'is'a'great'tool'for'providing'multiple'means'of'representation.'Information'can'be'displayed'
in'word'form'and'videos/photos'can'be'added.'For'the'second'principle'of'the'UDL,'expression,'students'can'
show'what'they'know'by'correctly'answering'the'questions.'The'last'principle'of'the'UDL'is'engagement.'
Kahoot!'is'a'great'tool'for'keeping'students'engaged.'I'say'this'because'it'is'usually'used'a'fan'game'in'the'
classroom'that'gives'students'a'break'from'the'traditional'lecture.'This'tool'also'allows'for'pair/group'
collaboration'while'also'engaging'in'friendly'competition.'Overall,'this'technology'tool'is'a'new'and'fun'way'
to'display'information,'test'student’s'knowledge,'and'gather'data'while'also'making'the'lessons'more'
enjoyable'for'students.'''

How'will'the'data'be'used?''!
!
During'the'activity,'Kahoot!'will'keep'track'of'how'many'participants'got'each'question'right/wrong.'The'
teacher'and'students'will'both'use'this'information.'During'the'activity,'students'will'be'informed'if'they'got'
the'question'right/wrong.'They'should'then'use'that'information'to'know'what'topics'they'need'to'spend'
their'study'time'on'in'preparation'for'the'test.'The'data'gathered'from'Kahoot!'will'then'be'used'by'the'
teacher.'The'data'gathered'should'tell'the'instructor'which'topics/concepts'a'lot'of'participants'are'struggling'
with'and'which'ones'most'participants'knew.'If'this'data'is'gathered'a'few'days'before'the'test,'then'the'
teacher'can'use'the'data'to'help'structure'the'test.'If'this'data'is'collected'right'before'the'test,'then'it'can'be'
used'to'create'a'remediation'task'for'students'who'will'need'to'do'test'corrections.'However,'no'matter'
when'the'data'was'collected,'the'teacher'should'be'able'to'see'what'concepts'students'did/did'not'
understand,'and'adjust'their'teaching'and'future'lessons.'This'data'allows'for'the'teacher'to'be'reflective'of'
their'teaching'and'improve'in'the'necessary'areas.''
'
Describe'your'personal'learning'goal'for'this'activity.''
'
My'personal'learning'goal'for'this'activity'is'to'learn'about'this'SRS'tool,'how'to'analyze'the'data'it'collects,'
and'learn'how'I'can'improve'my'teaching.'This'is'my'goal'because'I'don’t'have'much'experience'with'SRS'
tools.'From'what'I'remember,'SRS'tools'were'not'as'popular/not'widely'used'while'I'was'school.'So'I'wanted'
to'be'able'to'create'my'own'task'that'I'thought'students'would'enjoy,'while'also'using'an'SRS'tool.'Since'I'do'
not'have'much'experience'with'SRS'tools,'I'will'be'interested'in'seeing'the'data'and'how'I'can'analyze'that'to'
improve'my'future'teaching.'I'also'want'students'to'enjoy'the'lesson.'My'hope'is'that'students'find'this'task'
to'be'fun,'engaging,'and'beneficial'in'showing'them'what'areas'they'are'struggling'with.''
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'collaborate'with'a'partner'and'compete'against'other'students,'they'will'have'to'be'engaged'in'the'lesson'
so'they'do'not'miss'answering'a'question.'Then'by'answering'the'questions,'they'should'be'able'to'get'a'good'
idea'of'their'knowledge'of'the'material,'which'will'help'them'study'for'the'test.''
