27 tools for diverse learners

27 tools for diverse learners | Leveling the playing field with apps | Scoop.it
According to neuroscience and the Universal Design for Learning theory, there is no one right way to learn. Fortunately, the latest crop of tech tools offers a variety of ways for students of all learning styles and preferences to engage, receive information and express their learning.
Kathleen McClaskey's insight:

Luis Perez and Kendra Grant have compiled and described how 27 tools can be used by learners to help them become expert learners. They outline the tools under the three principles of Universal Design for Learning so that educators can relate to how each tool can support learners in more flexible and personalized ways. This is an excellent resource that should be shared far and wide among all educators that want to support the diversity of learners in their classrooms.

Study Tracks Growing Understanding of UDL

Study Tracks Growing Understanding of UDL | Leveling the playing field with apps | Scoop.it

A report just released, “Universal Design for Learning: Initiatives on the Move,” for the first time looks at how UDL is being implemented and understood.

 

"The new study finds that that many states and districts have embraced UDL’s tenets, which call for students to be presented with information and content in different ways and for giving them multiple options to show their understanding of what they know.  The instructional approach is intended to help all students, not just those with disabilities."

"Nowadays teachers and students have a variety of ways to show what they know and to express themselves.  These web and iPad apps can turn students into teachers and teachers into super-teachers! Furthermore, most of the apps listed in the infographic are free of charge."

Kathleen McClaskey's insight:

Tony Vincent has compiled a list of apps and web tools that can have learners express what they know and understand. This aligns well with the UDL (Universal Design for Learning) principle - Multiple Means of Expression and Action.

 

Thank you Tony!

This info graphic shows multiple ways that our 2e kids can process, retell, and "show" what they know without ever having to put pencil to paper. At last, light at the end of the tunnel for our very visual kids with dygraphia!
