Hosted by: Mike Marotta, Assistive Technology Consultant.
OK – so now we know about the hardware platforms available for the inclusive classroom but what do we do with these devices? This session will begin the exploration of all available tools to ensure that our tools are effectively meeting the diverse needs of each student. Using the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles as a roadmap, we will explore apps and software tools to provide multiple means of engagement, representation, and action & expression.  (This webinar supplements the CTD Course Mobile Devices to Support the Inclusive Classroom.)
