Unit 10

Introduction to the universal design of instruction (UDI)
Overview and Readings--

thoughts and questions

Teamwork is quite difficult. Even though there are technical ways to communicate with others, language barriers and prejudgements are existent.  At times there was one team member, at times there were both team members.  This situation made it very difficult to communicate.  Some team members wanted to take away ideas and work done by other members.  Having to advocate for me due to little to no support from anyone available.  This may have made it look as if I were the difficult one. Also because my team members seemed touchy about not being there in the onset they both seemed defensive and possibly communicating negatively about the fact I stuck up for what I wanted in the project. 

The design was accepted by then from me about how to make the lesson plan.  Because I wanted peer review to be part of the way the students interacted it seemed this portion was not welcome.  How are students going to be able to accept critique in the real world without practice? There were some real challenges because of the miss understanding as if I was taking over the analysis no I was not. I was making the student interaction curriculum real. This was my part.  The analysis from the teachers perspective was left to the party in question.
