Question Preview
It's the UDL-IRN Summit, and Bryan & Mindy are helping folks become #UDLrockstars with a Twitter Bootcamp pre-conference session. Let's help welcome our newest tweeps with a BONUS #UDLchat linking Universal Design for Learning and professional learning with Twitter.
Questions:
-
Q1: ENGAGEMENT. Why Twitter? How are the #UDL Framework & Guidelines reflected in using Twitter as a professional learning tool?
Q2: REPRESENTATION. Who are some of your favorite #UDL tweeps to follow? What are some of your favorite UDL resources found through Twitter?
Q3: ACTION & EXPRESSION. After all the following and sharing on Twitter, how do you make sure those fabulous new ideas and connections don’t just stay in Twitter? What’s your action plan for making things happen IRL?
So what's this #UDLchat all about?
#UDLchat is a bi-monthly Twitter chat focused on Universal Design for Learning (UDL). We are a virtual community of practitioners, enthusiasts, and evangelists eager to discuss resources, successes, and challenges in implementing UDL in a wide variety of environments and contexts.
Join us every 1st & 3rd Wednesday from 6-6:30pm PT / 9-9:30pm ET (UTC-4) for a rapid-fire learning-focused chat, and build your PLN!
