Universal Design For Learning Audience

● All students (and even adults) learn differently.

● Various ways of presenting information, visually, verbally and hands-on.

● Visual aids will be colorful, creative and handmade with facts and statistics.

● Hands-on experiences will include miniature whiteboards, a computer, a SmartBoard and an iPad for the audience to use.

Three Major Principles of UDL
