I think I will continue to see connections between Applying Cognitive Science to Learning and Instruction and Universal Design. Where I've been influenced most lately is in developing the proposal for my major project in the aforementioned class. As I mentioned in the video post, my project for Applying Cog. Science is a set of lessons for kindergartners. My goal is to teach them listening skills.
My original inspiration came from the Learning Through Listening readings for Week 3. However, I was quite inspired by David's lecture (and his singing) on Monday night, and it helped me form more completely my goals and vision for the lessons I am creating. I realized that although I planned to incorporate technology as a teaching tool in my project, a big part of my purpose for the children is to help them learn--and discern--the messages through different media. I am choosing to focus on spoken language and music in particular.
So, thank you, David, for your inspiring performance! Please, if anyone has any other comments about Monday's lecture, feel free to post.
