Visionary Leadership and UDL

Video impressions: Do we really need technology in the classroom? Classroom technology is dictated by industry. From industry a fundamental transformation will take place based on advisory approval, and purchased equipment. Many of the students have personal devises that they use in class, for electronic portfolio products. The software cost is generally out of their reach, however trials will help to bridge the students excitement. I use whatever resources I have available to me by asking the student what resources they have available to them. How much of the innovation shown was instructor lessons or student self exploration. Process learning helps to develop mind maps for future challenges. The instructors have more mind maps to help lead the student through their exploration. Art has always been a self expression of the environment exposure. I think this still holds true, yet now you can make money faster and it's sending and storing capability is endless. For me personally, industry has always dictated advancement. 

There's already an interest group, learning to join may be the lesson. We are in a world of rapid change, with a short shelf life. The power and importance of play will always be the piece that creates intrinsic drive.

Design Down Deliver Up has been a focus since 1990. Much of the material presented is packaged in a similar way. Implementing industry standards for productive workers, I have been practicing, changing, reaching out to community, meeting the needs of all students, for so long that I keep asking .. Are there people in this cohort who are hearing this for the first time? 

UDL
Truly wonderfully expressed through the videos. After taking the How do YOU teach survey I wasn't surprised that the diversity in my classroom reaches students through UDL.
