Thanks @TCEA for sharing this #educatorresource by @shfarnsworth that breaks down a variety of differentiation strategies that can be used in all classrooms. Q: what else would you add?
Tech tools can be used to modify and accommodate teaching and learning (think IEP/504/ELL). They're also powerful #UDL tools to increase engagement, meaning-making, and show learning for 100% of your students. Thanks @TCEA for this #educatorresource!

#edutwitter what other small shifts in your teacher and student talk have made a big difference in your classroom? Thanks @ELmagazine for sharing this #educatorresource! Let's collaborate on the "student talk" list so educators have "listen fors" to evaluate impact.
This video column presents 9 cognitive barriers -- which are essential for teachers to understand as they implement @CAST_UDL in their classrooms! @DFISHERSDSU & @NancyFrey also provide instructional strategies to combat each of these barriers, too! #educatorresource
