1) UDL Redesign: From your submission, I can see now you have some basic understanding of UDL guidelines. UDL is a comprehensive systemic way of thinking about how to make learning accessible for everyone and it takes time to get a deeper understanding of you. We shall revisit it again and again.
2) Genius Hour Project: So far there are 10 topics posted in the Slack Channel, which cover an interesting range of topics (Please share your topic there ASAP, If you haven't done so yet). I saw no big issues and I look forward to it. The next step is to finish the first post (DUE next Tuesday, 10/06 before class).
2. A little reflection:
Why are we doing Genius Hour Project? What ISTE standard(s) is it related to?
--- Knowledge Constructor: Students critically curate a variety of resources using digital tools to construct knowledge, produce creative artifacts and make meaningful learning experiences for themselves and others.
Students plan and employ effective research strategies to locate information and other resources for their intellectual or creative pursuits.
Students evaluate the accuracy, perspective, credibility and relevance of information, media, data or other resources.
Students curate information from digital resources using a variety of tools and methods to create collections of artifacts that demonstrate meaningful connections or conclusions.
Students build knowledge by actively exploring real-world issues and problems, developing ideas and theories and pursuing answers and solutions.

4. Creativity
What is creativity? How do you define it in your own words? In what ways are you creative?
We'll share our thoughts on a Padlet wall.
Creativity Challenge:
Think about one of the concepts we have learned so far in this course. It could be a big concept (e.g. meaningful learning with technology, UDL, etc), or it could be a small concept (e.g. authentic learning, digital citizen, engagement, ect.).
Then create something to express the ideas of this concept that you choose, using items that you can find in everyday life, including but not limited to cereal box, used magazine, tissue, cotton swabs, construction paper, clippers, straws, cords, glue, staples, markers, colorful pencils, playdoh...
Try to do this within half an hour. It doesn't have to be perfect. But I won't mind if you feel so engaged that you want to spend more time on it :)
Demonstrate your artifact and explain what you try to express with it, what materials you have used to create it, and why you make it that way in this FlipGrid: https://flipgrid.com/b2b0b496. You may scan the QR code below if you are using your phone to record:
