Lesson Reflection

Using the UDL Lesson Builder forced me to see lesson planning in a different light. The UDL Lesson Builder utilizes the three brain networks as guides to planning the lesson activities that reach and help all students. The lesson builder also coincided with the planning principles addressed in Using Technology with Classroom Instruction that Works. The books ask four questions every teacher has to address when creating a lesson plan: “What will students learn? Which strategies will provide evidence of student learning? Which strategies will help students acquire and integrate learning? Which strategies will help students practice, review, and apply learning?” (Pilter, 2007). Keeping these questions in mind along with the three brain networks (recognition, strategic, and affective) are what caused my shift in thinking about my lesson plans. From now on, I will make a more conscious effort to include all of these elements and principles, along with technology.
