Allow students to access materials in a variety of ways that best suit their learning styles,
as based on brain research (Bray, 2009).
Allow students freedom to demonstrate their learning through varioussoftware tools and Web 2.0 applications.
Some examples of technology that are considered to be assistive or adaptive are computer input devices and computer output devices.
Computer input devices can be something as simple as providing a keyboard with large letters and numbers, or something a little more complicated, such as a speechrecognition device used in place of a keyboard.
Computer output devices range from captioning for people who have hearing problems, to translation software that can translate a book into another language. Two examples of compensatory technologies include word processing and calculators, which are used to provide support to the student.
The potential impact of UDL on student learning in our middle school using technology is that helps in the lesson planning and provides assistance to everyone that want to integrate with other educational content. The students with special education in most classrooms could benefit by assistive or support technology that need added support to succeed. Also, we can work with our heterogeneous population, working with their multiple intelligence and with their differences in learning styles.
Central Role of Technology in UDL
Allows teachers to access a multitude of sources
for student activities at appropriate levels.
