5364+Book+Builder+Reflection

The UDL Book Builder assignment was an interesting activity. One positive aspect is that it is a free online program, so it is available to anyone with Internet access. Another benefit that this technology provides is that the student is not only reading and learning about the subject, he has an opportunity to interact with technology to stay engaged as well. The program’s text to speech function for the coaches was a good addition to the program; it would be nice to be able to have the student respond back with speech to text. It was fairly easy to create, but a little time consuming. I can see how this could be an excellent tool to use when trying to create a student-centered learning activity involving technology. However, as a teacher, I can do a much better job with less effort and time to teach the concept in the classroom.
