Module 2 Introduction

Technology can be altered and adapted to fit the needs of all students.  Universal design is not possible without adaptions and creativity.  This can be seen in the new assistive technology of today's world.  This includes even "common toys" like iPads, tablets, phones, and computers.  The world is becoming smaller and more connected.  The information for students to learn is becoming more accessible to all students.  With the ever changing technology, schools are still attempting to keep up and use the technology to allow students to excel to the potential. This Module will discuss the aspects of assistive technology and how it is used in classrooms today with UDL.
