Rather annoyed with Google - 1 views

I realize Google is not the be all end all of finding relevant information on the internet, but I did a search for: "are cross curricular units beneficial"
and these are the top 2 hits:
https://www.edutopia.org/blog/cross-curricular-teaching-deeper-learning-ben-johnson
This first article lists no references in support of the positions outlined in the article.
The next result was:
https://www.eduplace.com/rdg/res/literacy/interd1.html
This article was published in 1997, as was the next one.
So I decided enough of Google and went to Albertson's Library and found this:

So at least I now have a concrete example of why Google is not the answer to everything to share with my students.

I enjoyed this article because it provides an overview of Universal Design of physical spaces, of information technology, and of instruction. The pdf of the article (linked through the above website) also provides a UDE resources list that includes active hyperlinks to the provided resources.
