Today was our first official day together in Buena Regional School District. We reviewed the UDL Framework so that we are all on the same page. We discussed removing barriers from our lessons and our classrooms and we talked about next steps as we move forward as a group.

Here are some of the resources we looked at as we bookmarked them to our Delicious links.

Well if you've made it as far as this blog then you've made it past the first couple of hours of UDL training. Congratulations! You now have the basic understanding that Universal Design for Learning is the framework for something that you've been working so hard as an educator to do for your students this year and possibly for many years past as well. You also have a digital copy of the slideshow from today's presentation to refer back to you whenever you need it along with this blog as a resource.

The next step is to please read the Case Study: Teaching Probability in Middle School found at http://www.cast.org/teachingeverystudent/casestories/cs3/ and comment on the traditional versus UDL approaches discussed towards the end. Be specific as to which approaches have been successes or failures for you and which you can see yourself attempting to implement before the end of the school year.

Also, I've embedded the CommonCraft video on Social Bookmarking that we watched together. We'll be using Delicious a lot this year, so refer back to this video when you need to. Add it your bookmarks if you'd like.
