What is Universal Design for Learning?• “Universal Design for Learningis a set of principles
for curriculum development that give all individuals equal opportunities to learn. UDL provides a blueprint for creating instructional goals, methods, materials, and assessments that work for everyone--not a single, one-size-fits-all solution but rather flexible approaches that can be customized and adjusted for individual needs (CAST, Inc. 1999-2011.”

Role of Technology
• To help to students in and outside of the classroom
• Quick• Cost-effective solutions• Individualization of curriculum• Scaffolding• Engaging activities

UDL and Copper Center
• We have a wide variety of students, and need to meet every child where they are and help them be successful.
• Can be related to RTI in the classroom

Brain Research tells us:
• The "what" of learning
• “How we gather facts and categorize what we see, hear, and read. Identifying letters, words, or an author's style are recognition tasks.”

Brain Research tells us:
• The ”how" of learning• “Planning and
performing tasks. How we organize and express our ideas. Writing an essay or solving a math problem are strategic tasks.”

Brain Research tells us:
• The "why" of learning• “How learners get
engaged and stay motivated. How they are challenged, excited, or interested. These are affective dimensions.”

UDL and diversity
• Not every student comes in with the same amount of background information, culture, ethnic, linguistic, and academic needs.

Why technology?
• Change in student and teacher roles• Increased motivation and self esteem• Technical skills• Accomplishment of more complex tasks• More collaboration with peers• Increased use of outside resources• Improved design skills/ attention to audience• Found at: http://www2.ed.gov/pubs/EdR
