Universal Design for Learning (UDL)

Talk about your one-stop wiki for web 2.0 resources! This wiki allows you to add your own tips as well. Check it out at http://udltechtoolkit.wikispaces.com/

A quote from the site:

"Many teachers believe that assistive technology has to cost money, typically a lot of money. They tell me they are afraid to bring up AT at team meetings for that reason. Other teachers tell me that particular software or hardware is available but no one knows how to use it so it just sits in a closet, unused. Sometimes, teachers who were trained to use particular tools or devices have left the district and no one else is interested in learning how to integrate the AT. A common complaint is that the software is too complicated or there are technical issues that prevent implementation."

There's so much so see and glean from this site in the form of assistive technology (AT) that time and space won't do it justice here. So.....grab a cup of your favorite warm beverage, curl up on the couch, and dedicate an afternoon of exploring all that this treasure-trove has to offer!
