Starting this class of EDG 519 I am eager to learn the main importance of Assistive Technology for students with speical needs. In my journey of my career being a teacher I am excited and eager to find different teaching strategies to align with my own. Being enrolled in this class I will gain more knowledge of identifying the legal basis and requirements for assistive technology.
After reviewing www.cast.com, this website gives very good information of the main point of Universal Design. Universal Design is a set of principles for curriculum development that give all individuals equal opportunities to learn.
The goal of education in the 21st century is not simply the mastery of content knowledge or use of new technologies. It is the mastery of the learning process. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) www.cast.org/teachingeverystudent/ helps educators meet this goal by providing a framework for understanding how to create curriculum that meets the needs of all learners from the start. Having set guidelines allows the teachers to meet the many goals that are provided for these students. www.udlcenter.org/aboutudl/udlguidelines
This is a great introductory post to help the reader establish the purpose of the blog and some opportunities to do background information of their own to better understand the content over the next several blogs. The was also a great place to put the CAST video as a resource for the reader directly on the blog. Nice job!
