I think that nearly all types of technology that are appropriate for classroom use, not just those that we have been using in class, add value to the teaching and learning experience and contribute to UDL. The vast amount of technology that is available to us as educators give us so many more possibilities to meet the needs and interests of diverse groups of students. I immediately think of web 2.0 and the ever-expanding list of websites that allow students to learn interactively and be creative with their school work. Web 2.0 resources are available for every grade level and for many different intelligence levels as well. I feel very comforted knowing that I will be able to find web 2.0 resources for my future students who may present great difficulties in learning. Not only are technology resources available for students with different intelligence levels, but I should also be able to find and utilize resources that allow my students to learn in ways that benefit them the most (i.e. visual, auditory, kinesthetic), which definitely fits in with the UDL model.
