Description

This session will explore how together the UDL framework (the mode) and inclusive technologies (the means) can foster inclusive, accessible, and equitable learning experiences to empower children and youth. We will quickly move from theory to application of UDL and will explore how UDL can be used to analyze an array of high and low tech options. Specifically, we will use UDL to analyze how different tools, strategies, and resources support access, engagement, and participation in robust learning opportunities for all students. You will have the opportunity to try the UDL framework with your own tools and take away strategies to share with educators in your setting.
