Inclusion in the K-12 Classroom

Universal Design for Learning in the MultiPlayer Flipped Classroom

Students come to our classrooms with varying strengths and personalities. To create the best learning opportunities for all students, teachers can adopt multiple teaching strategies to increase differentiation.

In my presentation I will give you a glimpse into our flipped class, where students are given multiple ways to produce, process and access content. Our flipped class allows students to access the learning at their own pace. The flipped classroom becomes a dynamic workspace where students can work with their peers and teacher. In addition, I will touch upon ways of using the flipped class as a foundation for Gamification - engaging students by transforming the class into a game where students gain recognition of hard work through badges.

Thank you for coming to this presentation! I hope that you found it to be useful. If you have any further questions please feel free to contact me at the email provided or follow me on Twitter (@SalamancaMike)
