1. Stages of Technology Adoption
In what stage of technology adoption is this activity? Give evidence to support your answer.

If this lesson is at the Adaptation Level or below, what suggestions can you give to help it move to a higher level? = =

2. Universal Design for Learning[[image:udl.jpg width="175" height="97" align="right"]]
Is this activity designed to meet the needs of all learners?
 * Yes, the activity is designed to meet the needs of all learners by giving multiple resources and options to use. The lesson was also modified before the students are expected to work. ~Elyse

What modifications have been made to help all students succeed?
 * Students are able to choose which resources/websites to go to, however, some are more easy or difficult than others (i.e. the avatar websites) ~Elyse
 * Also, students are given a set of resources to use instead of having to go search for website on their own. ~Elyse

Provide examples of how universal design is included in this activity.

Are there multiple ways for students to learn and express what they learned?

3.Digital Tools to Facilitate Instruction[[image:cooltools_logo.JPG align="right"]]
Are the digital tools user-friendly and appropriate for students of this age?
 * Google Presentation, very nice way to guide the learning.
 * Website, appropriate way for students to apply the learning within the structure of your tech classroom.
 * Glog, good choice, but it is difficult to read on my small computer. White text would be better if it was turned to a dark color. I think it probably shows up well on a large screen PC or a Mac, but have to make it viewable on smaller screens.-Susan

Are the tools seamlessly integrated so they support student learning?
 * Yes, very nice seemless integration.
 * I created a tutorial for using Wikipedia simple english which you can link. Susan

Do the tools support UDL?
 * Plenty of variety and multiple modes here, see not below about wikipedia definitions. A Glog is perfect and your presentation is a good way to kickoff the lesson.- Susan

Can you suggest additional tools that might improve this lesson? >
 * Bag the Web to define vocabulary: Nice way to organize information but in this section the content is all from wikipedia and it is all text. Perhaps it can be combined with examples/illustrations to meet UDL guidelines. WordStash would work well. I will play with this tool to provide you with an example of how to incorporate the wikipedia definitions into this tool to include more than text so it is not extra work for you. Adrienne, you have done so much work on this project! :-D -Susan

4.NETS and the 4C's[[image:4cs.JPG width="302" height="131" align="right"]]
How are the **4 C's** included in this lesson?
 * The 4C's are included because the students are able to use their creativity on how they want to make their glog using various resources and pictures. Collaboration and communication are used because students group up to peer review each student's work. ~Elyse


 * NETS** have been identified by the designer of the lesson. Please take a look and then make suggestions for possibly including more or less. Take another look.
