From Hurdles to Opportunities: Unleashing the power of AI through the lens of Universal Design Heather Dill SLIDESMANIA.COM
Introduction HELLO! My name is Heather Dill, as an instructional technology coach and former special education teacher, I am excited to talk to you today about AI and chatbots increasing student accessibility through Universal Design.
Introduction to Universal Design for Learning and AI Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Accessibility for students with disabilities AI and ChatGPT s role in enhancing UDL implementation
Using ChatGPT to stimulate curiosity and interactive conversations 1. "ChatGPT, can you share a short story that teaches a lesson about kindness and empathy?" 2. "ChatGPT, what are some strategies for solving mathematical word problems involving real-life scenarios?" 3. "ChatGPT, can you describe the process of photosynthesis in simple terms?" 4. "ChatGPT, can you provide a step-by-step guide to creating a piece of art using a specific medium (e.g., watercolors)?" 5. "ChatGPT, what are the key features of a particular historical event (e.g., the invention of the printing press) and how has it impacted society? 6. "ChatGPT, what are some fun and interesting scientific experiments that students can do with everyday household items?" 7. "ChatGPT, can you recommend a variety of books or resources tailored to the interests and reading levels of students with disabilities?"
