 Universal Design for Learning (UDL): This assignment does not discriminate on one specific object. This
 activity just focuses on a student’s everyday life.
 Lesson idea implementation: This lesson is homework given to the students. The class would first go through
 one lesson introducing fractions. That weekend, the class would find all the examples of using fractions in
 their daily life and write them down. Returning to class, we would discuss the examples and make a diagram
 from the data. This diagram would be added to the classroom wall. This will allow the students to gain a
 deeper understanding of fractions.
 Importance of technology: Technology is important due to the need to have an easy-to-use communication
 tool. By putting the audio assignment on the Blog, students can repeatedly listen to what they need to do.
 Using blogs, students and parents are able to understand what was happening at their school.
 Inspiration (optional):
 Internet Safety and Student Privacy: Students, and faculty, need to be careful of what they put on the
 internet. They need to be careful of any information they give out. This has become such an issue that
 there are laws created about it. Before giving a child an online assignment, teachers need to make sure
 nothing is there that could harm the student.
 Reflective Practice: Using a Blog would be very beneficial in a classroom. Students are able to get information
 that they might not have gotten in class and with the audio, and script, they can see what they missed.
