Our Learning Community

This ning is designed to support our learning community based on the book discussion initiated by ISTE SigTE. It is not a closed ning. Feel free to invite your colleagues, students, and teachers to join the community. We chose the ning because of its flexibility to host discussion forums, blogs, videos, photos, live chat, links to other resources, etc. It is quite robust and useful for all levels of participation. We look forward to you sharing your thoughts and experiences with the community on the book and topics it introduces.

Teaching Every Student in the Digital Age: Universal Design for Learning

Teaching Every Student in the Digital Age: Universal Design for Learning by David H. Rose & Anne Meyer, ASCD, 2002
The e-book can be accessed by clicking on the title above. The site also has the link to purchase the book from ASCD is on the TES site.

Teaching Every Student in the Digital Age is the result of research by the Center for Applied Special Technology (CAST). The position is that the use of technology can be used to transform the nature of the curriculum itself. The e-book version has links to resources that make it a wealth of information regarding universal design for learning (UDL). UDL is a framework that can help you turn the challenges posed by high standards and increasing learner diversity into opportunities to maximize learning for every student. Drawing upon new knowledge of how the brain works and new technologies and media now available for teaching and learning, UDL frames a systematic approach to setting goals, choosing or creating flexible materials and media, and assessing students accurately.

We may want to form smaller groups for our discussion, have live chats, or post videos and photos to illustrate ideas. The ning serves as a platform for our learning community. It is a place to develop our book discussion with useful resources for us to take back to our own teaching.
