Description:
Teachers realize that we are in a crossroads in education and meeting the needs of all learners is going to take a change in the approach to instruction. Change can be daunting and many resources are purchased to support that change but many times no one knows how to use the resources so they are left unused. It's time for a change and there is no better time than now with the ubiquitous open source and Web 2.0 tools that are readily available.
Change is centered on getting familiar with the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) guidelines and using them in our class during instruction.
Change is also centered on free tools that are already readily available in the classroom or that are easily accessed by Internet download.
This website resource provides a number of free resources that can be on every classroom computer to promote learning for all students based upon principles of UDL. These tools provide improved access and accommodate for learner differences. Additionally, they are fun and engaging!
From the authors of the website:
My passion is to remove the obstacles to learning for all students and these free tools offer opportunities for struggling learners that promote academic success. When material is digital or electronic, it is flexible and accessible. It is our responsibility as educators to provide materials that promote success. Please encourage all educators to consider using these free tools.
