Tracks: Future of EdTech Special Education

The use of Google tools and Chromebooks continues to explode in education. But how can you use this array of tools to promote a culture of Universal Design for Learning (UDL)? This BYOD workshop will focus on the three principles of UDL — multiple means of engagement, representation, and action and expression — to examine ways of incorporating Google tools into your UDL learning environments. From Chrome apps and extensions to Google tools such as Cardboard, Mike Marotta will highlight ways to support ALL learners in the classroom. You will explore tools to assist students in the areas of reading, writing and math, as well as with executive functioning skills that include time management, organization, task completion and focus. You'll also receive resources to continue your learning beyond this workshop.
