CAST: Center for Applied Special Technology - 0 views

  •  
    The CAST (Center for Applied Special Technology) organization is devoted to expanding learning opportunities for all individuals, especially those with disabilities, through Universal Design for Learning (UDL). I found the CAST website to be a high-quality, valuable resource for educators and gave it a score of 5 on the DISCERN Instrument. The CAST Website defines UDL extensively and provides links to resources detailing how educators can implement UDL for their students. The website also provides a multitude of resources in their Research & Development, Learning Tools, Professional Devepment, and Library sections. I will refer back to the CAST website often to learn more about UDL and access tools for students.

Minnesota STAR Program (STAR=System of Technology to Achieve Results) - Home Page - 0 views

  •  
    Overall, based on both the DISCERN tool and the Hoss & Hanson document, the website appears to be a good source of information for the intended purpose, which is to provide information to Minnesotans about identifying and obtaining assistive technology. There are certainly ways that the site could be improved (updating more often, identifying additional credentials, etc.) but it is a good source of general information for assistive technology in Minnesota.
