A2....I change the environment so everyrone can....I collaborate, with students and colleagues, when I am not sure how. #udlchat

DegnerJoni Apr 5 @ 9:18 PM EDT

Q2 UDL made me a yes teacher. I stopped saying no to my students as long as the yes removed a barrier and moved toward the goal. #udlchat

khaulariz Apr 5 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@heathersfrancis @bscedtech also engage students in a discussion about their perceptions of 'academics' #udlchat

EquitableAccess Apr 5 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A1: In the "interest of time"I lectured for an hour about systems of gov't. It was terrible.My students were disappointed in me.#udlchat

A3: Helping others understand how UDL fits with Di, 21st C skills, framework for teaching, etc, etc, etc. #UDLchat

heathersfrancis Apr 5 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A3: Biggest challenge, how do we implement #UDL with integrity to the research-based principles? #UDLchat https://t.co/fc0YrwYqqe

mmvanfossan Apr 5 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A4 time is a factor. The Framework needs to be where you start instead of where you go after you identify an issue #udlchat

adamdel44 Apr 5 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A3 challenging to convert minds, lots of cognitive dissonance to overcome, fun to watch the conversions though #udlchat

LouiLordNelson Apr 5 @ 9:21 PM EDT
