Universal Design for Learning

Universal Design for Learning otherwise known as UDL is defined as a framework that is used to improve and optimize learning and teaching for all learners based on scientific evidence on how humans learn.  It aids in differentiation so that all learners can benefit.  The framework reduces barriers to learning.  Most educators use free, or low cost technology in order to implement this framework.  This blog is dedicated to educational technology tools.  Every single technology tool that can be used for instruction can be incorporated into this framework.  The framework is based on three basic principles and nine guidelines.
