What is UDL?
Hello everyone:
Welcome to my first attempt at blogging. During a recent network meeting I had a conversation with a participant who teaches middle school. She told me that after the initial UDL institute she had no idea what UDL was. At the network meeting (folllowing the lesson sharing) she thought everyhting was UDL. The conversation struck me because it closely resembled my own experience in learning about UDL.
So what is UDL? Is every ingteresting lesson a UDL lesson? Is any use of technology in a classroom a UDL lesson? I wish I had a concrete answer. More importantly, though, I am hoping that you have some answers. Please feel free to enter your thoughts about defining UDL. Have you developed a working definition, or at least a framework? Let me know.

Well said. Multiple options, flexibility, and choice are hallmarks of the program. I especially liked the references you made to the most important thing being an understanding of the process of how they came to understand. As a matter of fact, can learning take place without that realization?
