Universal Design
Creating Access to Information, Communication, Education, for all.
Utilizing Contemporary Technologies (Ubiquitous Technologies) to allow that access.

Barriers
Differing capabilities
Differing locations
Differing languages
Differing resources

Technology Toolbelt
The collection of tools you have access to, and knowledge of, so that you can use these to manipulate the world in ways which allow success.
Continuous lifespan learning, and lifespan use.

Brand Agnostic Multiple Tool Access
Schools which embrace single systems deny their students both tool learning and life preparation.
1:1 should never suggest “same for all.”
