Universal Design for Learning (UDL): The students I believe may face the most struggles with this lesson are
those with seeing and cognitive disabilities. Someone who does not see well or at all may find it difficult or
impossible to choose answer choices on a mobile device. Those with cognitive impairments may be
overstimulated by such an activity or may not be able to keep up with the fast-paced nature of it. My best
suggestion is to have these students work in pairs with students that can be trusted to help them. A partner
could enter the answers that the student chooses and relay the scores to them so that they may participate in
the sense of competition. Setting a longer timer for each question can be useful to those with cognitive
disabilities.

Describe the instructional activities that will occur PRIOR to the SRT activity and how you will introduce
the SRT activity. Students will either be given school provided mobile devices such as tablets, or will be asked
to use their personal devices. The teacher will have the game running on their computer, which is being
projected in the classroom for all to see. The teacher will have already created the quiz and will now open up
the server for the students to join. By entering the code provided on the projector screen students will
connect to the quiz room, providing their names so that they can be properly assessed.

Describe the purpose of the SRT activity (check all that apply):
☒ Assess prior knowledge ☐ Anticipatory set (Create interest in a topic) ☒ To illuminate common
misconceptions ☒ Formative assessment of content knowledge (for purpose of differentiation and
mastery for ALL students) ☒ Summative assessment of content knowledge ☒ Test preparation
☐ Survey/Poll ☒ Discussion starter ☐ “Homework” collection ☐ Other (please explain):

Briefly describe what will happen DURING the SRT activity: Throughout the activity students will answer
the questions that come up onto the screen. Each will have between two and four answer choices, labelled by
colored shapes. On the screen of their Clicker device they will see these same colored shapes that correspond
with the answers. They will be time for each question, with the goal of being fast and accurate. After all
students have answered a question the teacher should explain why certain answers are right or wrong, in
order to clear up any misconceptions.

Type of questions/prompts used in this activity (check all that apply):

☒ Multiple choice ☐ Multiple select ☒ True/False ☐ Yes/No
☐ Short open-ended response or fill-in the blank ☐ Longer open-ended response

If you are unable to provide a working sample of your questions, please list them below (8-10):
Here is the Kahoot! I made: https://create.kahoot.it/share/wwi-test-review/518dba09-a600-4318-9157-

Right/Wrong answers: Will there be right/wrong answers to these questions?

☒ Yes ☐ No
☐ Mixed (Some will have correct answers, other will not.)
Immediate corrective feedback: Will you pre-select correct answers to some of all of the questions and
display correct response to the class after the SRT activity?
☒ Yes
☐ No
Why or why not?
Unless it is a trick-question, there is always a correct answer in multiple choice.
Describe what will happen AFTER the SRT activity?

How will the data be used? Teachers will use the collected data of each question and student in order to
understand what subject areas individuals or the entire class may be struggling and need further review.
Students who exhibit an overall lack of content comprehension may need extra teacher assistance and can be
called in for a conference.
Describe your personal learning goal for this activity. For this activity I am trying to create something simpler
yet engaging. I feel that my lesson plans tend to have complex factors to them, as I try to achieve high levels
of Bloom’s Taxonomy and LoTi whenever I can. In this case, I am attempting to create a lesson that does not
ask much from the students other than their participation. A short yet effective activity that facilitates
student engagement through competition does not necessarily have to break the upper echelons of learning
objectives. I feel like I have learned that there is a balance to lesson activities in terms of levels of student
input.

Reflective Practice: I feel that there are so many more avenues that can be explored with Student Response
and Assessment Tools. Students could create entire classroom discussions or debates through these easy,
interactive devices. The ability for students to respond to live lessons as they are being delivered is quite
remarkable in my opinion. I could see myself in the future perhaps setting it up so that students can post
questions, comments, etc. that will display in a feed on the screen, so that I may answer them immediately.
This will especially encourage shier students to engage.
