// Steve, I enjoyed looking through your presentation. The comics and graphics were well utilized. // // -Ben //

Greetings, everyone. I thought I would add some resources that I found for this week's application assignment apart from those listed on our course website. [] This site from NYC schools has great links to questions to ask yourself while designing UDL lessons. It also contains a link to a short video clip describing the three principles of UDL as well as links to the CAST site. [] This site also describes UDL in detail and also includes a video overview of UDL as well as a virtual tour of a UDL classroom. Hope this is helpful for everyone! Ben Pongracz


 * UPDATE*** Here is my presentation without the bells and whistles: [[file:Wk3AssgnPongraczB.ppt]]

Hello, Here are some of the resources I have been looking a this week trying to discover more about UDL: [] This looks like a great resource with many links and references to applying it to mathematics

[] I liked this website because it gave some thoughts for each element of UDL

[] - This site has some good charts that would be great in a presentation

[] This is a great presentation about UDL and CCSS in Mathematics. It also provides helpful links as well.

If you have any suggestions or tips I would appreciate any comments. Betty Smazenko
 * Here is the link to my Prezi on my UDL presentation:** [|UDL Presentation]

// Betty, I really liked your Prezi! Including the video in the presentation was a great idea since it contained many visuals and dynamic explanations. One critique is that a number of the slides had so much information on them that they were difficult to read. Other than that, it was fantastic! // // -Ben //

Hello All,

Below are some of the links that I found to be helpful. One thing that I noticed in looking at information on UDL, much of what I found was clearly based off of the CAST website. So I am hoping that some of the resources that you have found might enlighten me, and be resources that I can use after this class in my teaching. I have also included a download for my PowerPoint presentation, or the shell of it that I have done right now.

Here are the resources that I found and used:

This first website is one that uses the CAST information, but also had examples of cases that I thought were highly beneficial.

This resource talks about the importance of differentiation and how UDL goes hand-in-hand with differentiation.

[|http://aim.cast.org/learn/historyarchive/backgroundpapers/differentiated_instruction_udl#.Uj-q8hzA3Dc]

This resource, as with many of the resources that I have found rely on information from D. Rose & A. Meyer, but they also include links to further enhance teaching practices. While it applies specifically to adult literacy I also think that it can be applied to other classrooms.

This last one is a link to a middle school that has already started incorporating UDL into their curriculum.

My presentation, without any special transitions or visuals, which I plan on adding later.

I know my presentation is lacking on the visual side, sorry.
