Universal Design for Learning and CAST

The last thing to leave you with is to develop a learning process throughout the school year while incorporating technology in the curriculum.  Universal Design for Learning in the classroom is a set of principles to understand the strategies needed to take place to meet the needs of all students in the classroom.
