UDL+Book



My UDL book is called "[|Dimensions of Measurement]" and it attempts to present length, area and volume in a way that is accessible to students with different needs. Although I admit that originally this book was conceived for an elementary school setting, I figured that the approach toward dimensionality is a perspective from which everybody can benefit. Not all of us understand geometry and measurement the same way, especially considering the usefulness of these concepts in daily life. I tried a logical approach to this. Today, in fact, I surveyed some of my current students about their understanding of "3-D movies" and why they call them "tri-dimensional". I made some shapes in space and attempted to explain, in layman's terms, the x, y, and z axis. I utilized the data I collected to create this book. While for some students it is sufficient to read about these terms, others will only understand them if they see a graphic representation of them. Because our hypothetical class has students with visual impairments, I feel that the audio present in these interactive books can help them imagine or conceptualize a notion they may already have but that they do not experience the same way most people do.
