Disabilities, Opportunities,
Internetworking, and Technology,
University of Washington, The
Faculty Room: Students in
academic classes come from a wide variety of ethnic and
racial backgrounds. For some, English is not their first
language. In most classes, there are students with many
types of learning styles, including those who are
primarily visual or auditory learners. In addition,
increasing numbers of students with disabilities are
pursuing postsecondary education.
Accommodations and Universal Design: The best accommodations are unique to the individual
and develop from a cooperative relationship between the
faculty member and the student, sometimes with the
assistance of the campus disabled student services
office. In this area of The Faculty Room you will learn
strategies for fully including students with
disabilities in your course activities.

Using primary sources in the classroom
Suggestions for using primary sources were compiled from the
National Digital Library's Educators' Forum held in July, 1995
and from the Library staff. Educators at the Forum, like many
throughout the country, know that history comes alive for
students who are plugged into primary sources. These suggestions
for student activities can help you enhance your social studies
curriculum using authentic artifacts, documents, photographs,
and manuscripts from the Library of Congress Historical
Collections and other sources.
Media Analysis Tools
MEDIA ANALYSIS TOOLS or worksheets guide students into deeper
analysis of primary sources. View these tools at work in lessons
to see how they might be used or adapted to your needs. Learning Resource Center (Cuyamaca College Library) Main site on Web Inquiry Projects
A WIP is a lesson plan format promoting student inquiry. Central
to a WIP is the use of un-interpreted data/information that can
be found online -- that is, students attempt to answer
inquiry-oriented questions by seeking and manipulating online
resources. WIPs are designed to be viewed and used by teachers,
however the Hook is often viewed by students as well. Keep in
mind though, the more information given to students, the less
inquiry-oriented the activity will be.
Main

inquiry-oriented activity in which most or all of the
information used by learners is drawn from the Web. WebQuests
are designed to use learners' time well, to focus on using
information rather than looking for it, and to support learners'
thinking at the levels of analysis, synthesis and evaluation.
