"The only way to be totally free is through education" - Jose Marti

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) reflects the idea that a flexible learning environment and curriculum should be designed to be accessible to as many learners as possible. By designing for the exceptional learner in mind, one is able to address the learning neads and preferences of a number of students.

 

Assistive technology (AT) for learning includes those devices which improve academic performance by helping a student access the content necessary to complete a task, aid in processing the content in a way that promotes learning, or assists in the students presentation of acquired knowledge. Assistive technology does not necessarily mean electronics, for example, prescription glasses are considered to be a piece of assistive technology.

 

In this module we were asked to complete an eBook of web 2.0 tools and evaluate their use as assistive technologies in a UDL classroom. I elected to focus on the Alberta high school mathematics curriculum and reviewed the tools Fooplot, 3D Geometry, and Ezy Trigonometry in my eBook, which I published using the web 2.0 tool Papyrus.
