S02 EP22: Greatest Hits UDL

Guest Bio

My guest today is Tim Batiuk. He's been an online teacher and currently is chief technology officer at SYS Education LLC. Tim is one of us. He has taught at the elementary level online and currently works to support and drive teachers forward in their use of technology to meet the needs of all students. He's passionate about UDL and is always willing to help educators implement the framework.

Episode Summary

In this episode we take a deep dive into UDL - universal design for learning. This isn't a gimmick or "thing of the moment" but a way of thinking about Engagement, Representation and Expression. It's a framework for thinking and planning that requires us to look through a lens larger than our own personal lived experiences, preferences or needs. This is maybe the most important episode of the season. There's so much to learn!
