OBJECTIVE: SEC1. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information on how biotic and
abiotic factors interact to influence the distribution of species and the diversity of life on
Earth.
How can you address the UDL principles for the selected information above?
Determine what tools can be used to support and enhance student learning
BY ALL students.
● Play music in the classroom. Music has been shown to help students with
ID’s stay motivated to complete their work as well as to retain information.
Supportive APPS:
● Idea Sketch App- This app allows students to easily draw out mind maps in
order to connect similar ideas and thoughts throughout a lesson. This will
help students to more easily make connections to material and build smaller
ideas into larger concepts.
● Read2Me - This app allows the user to import whole text files and reads
them aloud.
Supportive APPS:
● Otter - For those with their dominant hand incapacitated, allows
speech-to-text. Otter records and takes meeting notes for you in real-time, so
you can stay focused on the conversation and rest assured that all
information (e.g. actions, highlights, photos, attendees) is captured, easily
searchable, and shareable with your team.This would allow students with
physical disabilities that cannot take notes quickly or cannot hear to obtain
information.
● Ava- 24/7 Accessible Life - Ava is an app designed to empower people who
are deaf or hard-of-hearing by allowing them to follow conversations in
real time. The app provides 24/7 real-time captioning (with up to 95%
accuracy, based on artificial intelligence), on your smartphone. This would
allow students to actively communicate with classmates and teachers in
real time about influences on the distribution of species.
● Avaz App for Communication: Avaz AAC is an augmentative and
alternative communication app that empowers children & adults having
speech-related difficulties with a voice of their own. This would help
students communicate the new knowledge obtained about interactions of
abiotic and biotic influencers.
Supportive APPS:
● iTranslate Translator: iTranslate is the leading translation and dictionary
app. Easily translate text, websites, or start voice-to-voice conversations in
over 100 languages.This would allow for students to find vocabulary words
they don’t fully understand in English and obtain information through
websites via translations if needed.
● Conversation Builder Teen: ConversationBuilderTeen is a teen version of
the popular and award winning ConversationBuilder virtual conversation
simulator. It is designed to help teenaged children learn how to have
multi-exchange conversations with their peers in a variety of social
settings. The auditory pattern of conversation is presented in a visual
format to help students recognize and master the flow of conversation.
This would help ESOL students develop skills in communication through
structured patterns.
