4. USE WHATCHYA GOT!
The Philosophy:
Use the technology that is already in place first to
meet the needs of students.
This Philosophy means…
Consider low tech strategies first, then move to high tech
as needed
Implement technology that is least restrictive
Better rate of adoption and less chance of abandonment
Use a Universal Design for Learning approach
All students (not just those in special education) will
benefit
You’ll save money!!!!
You’ll save time!!!!
Students implement strategies faster

29. SOLUTIONS
1. Now we can search all
shared resources.
2. Now we can share LISTS
(tags) of resources with
educators.
Ex: http://delicious.com/lcpsat/typing
3. We have both a static and
a dynamic web site.
38. ASSESSMENTS (THE UDL WAY)
Formative –
Collect data based on completed activities
(ex. screenshots, resourceful teacher
response system, pictures drawn, voice
recording, etc.)
Summative –
Applya rubric to evaluate overall content
acquisition.
