Aim of our Project
1. Enhanced learning through opening up multi-sensory opportunities in classrooms
2. Enhanced inclusive education through multiple means of representation, expression and engagement for students (UDL approach)
Rationale for our Project
Despite having a ten year old building with many resources, we lacked some basic technological infrastructure, which placed barriers on more inclusive teaching and learning. As a school we sought to remove some of these barriers and open the door to multi-sensory opportunities in classrooms by investing in interactive screens in classrooms.
The interactive screens allow for multiple means of representation, expression and engagement (UDL). Learning in classrooms can be engaged with through text, audio, visual imagery, animation/motion etc. Students can showcase their learning in multiple ways that do not overly rely on traditional means of text or writing.
