3 Visual Apps that comply UDL framework:

Class dojo is a cool app, I really like how they made it where students can pick their own characters. As a teacher, I feel using this will draw the students attention making it fun. They can listen to calm music while working on an assignment or active music. Teachers will be able to check the report to see how the students acted and if they are on track. It shows a spreadsheet of what each student does and this can also be used to show parents how active their child(ren) are. There is also a tool where we can add an event and it will remind parents such as if students have exams or even a fieldtrip.  Messages is another great place to communicate with the parents. Parents love feedback and want to know what they can do to help their child(ren) succeed.      https://classdojo.com/

Google Slides is another exciting app aimed for younger students. Students themselves will learn and enjoy. Learning sight words has now become a game by finding the sight words and somehow must put the sight word in the correct bubble by dragging it. After you have found them all the students will have to save it and turn it in. As for the math portion of the assignment, there are links for workbooks and even have an interactive lesson on the workbook website.   https://slidesgo.com/teacher

Google Classroom is another great app that is used in the classroom. They have wonderful tools used for any grade level. I have had my sister and mom use this app while my sister was in high school. It can be used to virtually have class and conference with the teacher. They can also use the interactive library set up where when they click on the teacher, she would have herself pre recorded so the students can have her reading to them through video. There are also pictures of books which once you click on them will link take you to YouTube read aloud.       https://classroom.google.com/u/0/h

    These three apps were designed to help teachers, students, and parents. I chose them because they are easy to use. Parents who aren’t familiar with technology and want to be an active person in their child(ren), will have an opportunity to with these apps. With these apps there is communication between parent and teacher, and communication between teachers and students.
