Universal Design for Learning is not easy to implement as
well as not implemented by all teachers.
I myself had not heard of it until this class. I like the information presented and see how
they can transform the classroom. The
most useful websites were udlcenter.org and cast.org because they both provide
a multitude of information, videos, pictures, and blogs about this method of
teaching. There are graphic organizers
to help utilize the UDL. These two
websites are directly linked and most likely share most or all the information
but portray it differently between the two websites. “Teaching Every Student” is also another
website that would put on the top of the list for “teacher friendly” websites
due to the knowledge presented on it. University
of Washington, however left must to e desired since it lacked much information
as well as an attractive appearance to the knowledge. These websites have all been added to my
bookmarks to help with any future use in UDL for my classrooms. The video that follows should help teachers like me learn about UDL for the first time in a manner easily understood.

I agree that adding UDL to the classroom is not always easy. It is hard to reach every type of learner in the classroom. After looking at these different sites and tools I will also be using these ideas in my future. Great blog!
ReplyDeleteUDL is not always an easy task, but it is well worth the struggle. I believe that UDL assists both teachers and students. CAST.org is a great website resource. Providing great explanation, and great visuals, creating an inviting environment. The above websites that you have mentioned are also added to my bookmarks. I will defiantly be using these resources in the future.
