Learning about UDL was very rewarding and empowering to me as an educator. Prior to this class, I have heard of UDL but never really explored it in depth like I did with this blog. The website I have explored were beneficial to my learning journey and will be beneficial to my journey in the classroom. Here's a few teacher friendly websites that any teacher can benefit from:
1. http://www.cast.org The Center for Applied Special Technology (CAST) is a nonprofit research and development organization that works to expands learning opportunities for all individuals through UDL. This website has a plethora of information about UDL and tools for teachers.
2. http://www.cast.org/teachingeverystudent/toolkits/ This webpage provide teachers with toolkits to understand and apply UDL principles in the classroom. The toolkits support different learning styles and needs.
3. http://www.cast.org/teachingeverystudent/ This webpage provides teachers with information about UDL, how to implement UDL into the classroom, identifying curriculum barriers for students, example lesson plans and much more.
4. http://www.udlcenter.org/aboutudl/udlguidelines Here you will find information about the specific guidelines of UDL and how these guidelines can assist a teacher in lesson planning.
5. http://www.udlcenter.org/implementation/examples Here you can find teacher friendly examples and resources for each UDL checkpoint. These examples and resources help teachers with implementing UDL in their classrooms.
As the journey continues, the next blog posts will discuss specific assistive technologies.
