Let's inspire learners together!

What does it mean to have multiple means of action & expression?

Action & Expression times 3, B?

1. Vary Methods for Response

Guideline 4: Options for Interaction

💭 Suggestion: Use Screencastify Submit or the built-in Chromebook Screencast recordings to allow students to create screen recordings to express their understanding visually and verbally. Alternatively, Google Forms can be utilized for written responses or quizzes, giving students a structured way to demonstrate their knowledge.

⭐️ Example: After a math lesson, students can choose between making a video explanation using Screencastify or completing a quiz using Google Forms . This flexibility caters to different preferences and strengths, promoting varied methods of interaction.

2. Optimize Access to Assistive Technologies

Guideline 5: Options for Expression & Communication

💭 Suggestion: Incorporate Chromebook Select-to-Speak for text-to-speech support, helping students who struggle with reading comprehension. Nearpod can be used to create interactive lessons with multimedia resources, accommodating various learning needs.

⭐️ Example: For a reading assignment, students can listen to the text read aloud using Immersive Reader in Nearpod, which supports their understanding. Engaging with quizzes and discussions in Nearpod allows them to express their comprehension in a format that suits them, ensuring multiple avenues for communication.

3. Promote Individual and Collective Reflection

Guideline 6: Options for Strategy Development

💭 Suggestion: Create opportunities for students to reflect not only on their individual goals but also on the collective goals of the class. Regularly check in with students about their progress towards their goals. This can involve self-assessments, reflections, or peer feedback sessions and can enhance a sense of community and shared purpose.

⭐️ Example: Use Padlet to create a class reflection wall where students can post updates about their goals and comment on each other’s progress. This encourages a supportive learning environment and collaborative reflection.
