UDL & 21st Century Learning

Not coming into the information age – we are leaving it!

UDL & 21st Century Learning

Information is easy to get!

UDL & 21st Century Learning

What will be valued is people who can make “usable knowledge” with that information!

Expert Learners

In UDL we are seeking to create expert learners, individuals who- whatever the particular strengths and weaknesses are know themselves and know how to learn.

QuickTime™ and a decompressor

are needed to see this picture.

Expert Learners are:

Strategic, goal-directed learners. Know who you are as a learner.

Knowledgeable learners. They have prior knowledge or know how to find it.

Purposeful, motivated learners. They are intrinsically rather than extrinsic learners.

Amplification of Differences

In the 21st Century – the goal of education to recognize the diversity and amplify it not reduce it!

I will share this information with:

“The success of technology has more to do with people

than machines. All the right parts and pieces together

won’t work miracles by themselves. It is people who make technology powerful by creatively using it to fulfill

their dreams.”Alliance for Technology Access, 1996

And next session
