Task+1

You have two short tasks that need to be completed before Friday. The first task I would like each of you to complete before Friday is to register for a free Twitter account. If you already have one, then you are finished with this task! If you don't have a Twitter account, please click here to go directly to the Twitter website to register. For more detailed instructions on how to register, click the Twitter Registration link below. You do not have to find or follow anyone once you have registered (unless you want to!). We will discuss how to do that Friday and how we will be using our Twitter accounts - it will be exciting!

The second, and final task I would like each of you to complete before Friday is to review the Sunshine State Standards and Task Analysis for your content area. We will be developing lesson plans based on Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles Friday. I want the lesson plan that you develop to be //**relevant**// and immediately //**applicable**// in your classroom. Since the school year is just beginning, think about developing a lesson plan that can be used within the first few weeks of school. You do not have to have anything prepared or bring anything with you Friday, I would just like you to have a specific topic in mind when you develop the lesson plan Friday.

Click the following link if you would like to see a sample lesson plan that uses UDL principles: [|UDL Lesson Plan Day 1.pdf]
