Little Things Count
Every action, communication, and event is a drop in the UDL bucket.
Set an example for change by infusing UDL principles in everything you do.
It's NOT necessarily about one BIG moment or decision. It's one trillion little actions that truly bring aboutlasting change.
DUPLICATING YOURSELF!(Additional Professional Development Modalities)

PD should be...
- More than one time (Multiple experiences)
- More than one way (Multiple modalities)
- Reproducible (I want to experience that again)
- Interactive (as much as possible)

Our Group…
had three problems.
Too Many Good Resources!
App-alanche!
Stuff we FOUND and CREATED
How to share these
with educators?
And Each Other?
Do we want our website to be dynamic or static?
Some team members want one way,Other team members want it the other way.
Solution: Social Bookmarking!

Use the toolbar
Give it a title, description, &
tags
Save to a library or
group
Tagging Search for TAGS
Other Points
● Private (Internal) vs. Public (Open)● Library vs. Groups● Highlighter & Sticky Note Tools● There’s an app!
Delicious.com is an alternative (Is Pinterest? Livebinders? Symbaloo?)

www.diigo.com/user/attipscast
Now we can search all shared resources. Now we can share LISTS (tags) of resources with community & educators.
We have both a static and a dynamic web site.

Modeling Through Practice
Sample Consultation Clause:
"The following are a few of the recommendations we
brainstormed together. Within these are tutorials and
additional information. The intent is not that you
read/listen/watch them all, but pick and choose the
modality that best fits your learning style. The different
modalities are meant to provide you with options for how
best you’d like to experience the content."
Sample Consultation cont.Recommendation #1 - High Contrast in Windows - Based on our conversation and observation it seems like the student needs for text to appear larger on the screen. Furthermore, a background color other than white seems to help the student attend to content. Step by Step Tutorial – http://bit.ly/highcontrast4u

Training by Community Building
When training on a specific tool that is not available to general educators (for example, a specific AAC device)
form communities
of educators who
are working with
students who are
using these devices.
Establish a Personal Learning Network
PLN – Your own community of individuals you go to when you need support
FREE Methods -● Facebook (Groups – Open & Private)● Twitter● Google Plus● LinkedIn● Pinterest● Moodle/Blackboard● Blog● Happy Hours ☺
Remember UDL!
If people aren’t comfortable
with these methods come up
with other ways to include
them.
We are Part of a Larger Community
● QIAT LISTSERV - http://bit.ly/joinqiat
● Existing social networking groups● Assistive Technnology on Facebook
● Raise awareness by presenting at local, regional, national, and international conferences● ATIA, CTG, ISAAC, etc.
