CAST’s website also has a section on Learning Tools. There are multiple games, apps, and software that is accessible through this site. Also included are: book builder, curriculum self-check, lesson builder, strategy tutor, and science writer.
One of the branches from Learning Tools is UDL Exchange. This is very similar to SMART Exchange, where you can browse UDL lesson plans, activities, et cetera. This is great!

CAST Professional Learning is dedicated to educators. One of the best features is their free Webinars – you need to register for the sessions, and space is sometimes limited, but it is a great [free] resource to utilize.
I also found this video, which is a great introductory tool and explanation. It is a visual and auditory presentation of material, which may be helpful for individuals who learn that way.
Jess, the video "UDL at a glance" is a great introduction for educators learning about what UDL is all about. I like how it explains that universal design for learning is to be used by ALL students/learners not just ones with special needs. The video explains that there are three different aspects of UDL: representation, action and expression, engagement; and what they mean. Thanks for sharing this video!
ReplyDeleteI think the point early on the video that learning needs are as unique as our fingerprints is very important. No matter how homogenized a class may seem, students all come with their own strengths and weaknesses. This is where UDL becomes important.
