The document discusses the importance of integrating technology and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles in education. It outlines the three principles of UDL - multiple means of representation, action and expression, and engagement. It also describes proposed stations that would demonstrate UDL and how technology could be used across different grade levels and courses. The goal is to prepare students with 21st century skills and increase their ability to transition into future career environments that utilize various forms of technology.

2. Universal Design For Learning
Audience
● All students (and even adults) learn differently.
● Various ways of presenting information, visually, verbally and
hands-on.
● Visual aids will be colorful, creative and handmade with facts
and statistics.
● Hands-on experiences will include miniature whiteboards, a
computer, a SmartBoard and an iPad for the audience to use.

5. ∗ All students learn differently, and some may need
specific accommodations
∗ Meeting needs of those with disabilities
∗ Meeting the needs of those whom do not speak our
language of origin
∗ Any other accommodations necessary are essential,
and can be done through UDL
