I liked the emodo site. This site woul;d give me the opportunity to incorporate more health into the wellness curriculum by posting assignments and even allowing students to take a quiz. This could allow for collaboration and more opportunitites to learn.

Learned to use the Diigo social bookmarking sight. Also synced it to my phone so I can use it on the go. Researched Google Docs. Will try to impliment its use perhaps with health lessons. Will also be able to share health topics with students using Diigo. Still much more to explore on []

2. How will this technology create "access" to the curriculum? It will offer various methods of for delivery of instruction and assessment to motivate students to become expert learners.

. Describe each UDL Principle and Technology explored and how it would help "access" the curriculum. [|http://www.dcmp.org] Described and Captioned Digital Media Program is a library of over 4,000 open-captioned titles (videos, CD-ROM, and DVD). Several hundred titles are also streamed on the web site. The videos are designed for students who are blind, visually impaired, deaf, hard of hearing, or deaf blind. **I** **actually  found a video for beginner badminton . ** Videos like this could help more students access the curriculum, especially the the more visual ones as well as hearing impaired. **Multiple means of expression ** [] Animoto helps to create videos from pictures, video clips, words and music. This mode of technology would offer an alternate mode of expression for my students when presenting their water safety projects. **Multiple Means of Engagement** [|http://www.edutopia.org] Peace Helpers Become Classroom Problem Solvers This site would help students with peer mediation and and conflict resolution which is a part of the grade 7 health curriculum.

Students were able to study the war in Iraq by starting out with questions they had. Then they had email pen pals from Iraq to help them understand how it was affecting them. They felt confused and worried about their friends when they saw the media showing bombs in Iraq. They learned that they had a voice by expressing themselves in a silent protest which gained national attention. They had their parents come to school to teach them about the war. Finally they made a song and used the proceeds to help their friends in Iraq. The students covered reading, writing, emotional, physical, artistic and musical aspects of learning. The school featured was a small school of 200 students K-8 making student centered learning attainable because of small classes. The school is privately funded.

 * What did I learn / find interesting?
 * How will this technology help make curriculum more accessible to students?

I liked live binder because it can be placed on the school web site and my teacher page, Students could use it to build a health binder. The live binder would make more infromation available and accessable to more students and it would also be accessable to parents if it were on the school web site. It would also save a lot of trees and help with budget.

Prezi will be a good tool alternative to PowerPoins for the grade 7 Water Safety PowerPoints. I intend to see if our technology teacher is using Prezi or teaching the students aboutr it. GO Animate can possibly to create a Water Safety Cartoon.
