Hi Jasial, I enjoyed reading your thoughts and what you’ve learned about designing for inclusion and engagement. I really like how you went all the way back to grade 4, and how you shared to each other what you were having for lunch that day, and how you related it to fostering inclusion and making it culturally appropriate. I can’t imagine switching to online learning for French and being put in the spotlight when you are talking, that is amazing! You talked about how the balance of synchronous and asynchronous activities should be tailored to the specific tasks you were working on to maximize your comfort and participation.
I wonder if you could deepen one area in your Principles of Effective Online Education. You mention how the UDL helps teachers be inclusive from the start for one another, but you don’t go into too much detail on how these principles make expectation clearer. Maybe try giving a concrete example?
You did a great job with the layout of the blog, and I like your use of images.
