    This is an auditory website that explains how our solar system formed and why planets rotate. There are also games that students can play to get them familiar with the solar system. The teachers corner is located at http://spaceplace.nasa.gov/en/kids/ where you can click on space episodes.

As she waves down another San Jose (Calif.) colleague walking by, from 1,600 miles away, it's hard not to believe her.

  • All that raises a fundamental question about technology's ultimate impact on workers. Will this be a new world of empowered individuals encased in a bubble of time-saving technologies? Or will it be a brave new world of virtual sweatshops, where all but a tech-savvy few are relegated to an always-on world in which keystrokes, contacts, and purchases are tracked and fed into the faceless corporate maw?

      The idea of the "one-size-fits-all approach is being changed in the pages of textbooks, but sometimes it is more difficult for teachers to make this ideological change-over in their teaching methods.

      True, but I am not convinced that the concept of UDL is really as much of a change as CAST is making it out to be. This is kind of a repackaging of ideas instead of a new idea. The concept of backwards design and Understanding By Design are all kind of the same thing. We are really just being asked to think about the end goal and how it fits everyone at the beginning. Or am I missing the point of UDL?

      I agree with you, UDL is looking at designing lesson plans and units in the same fashion that backwards lesson design does, but one difference may be that UDL looks at brain research. Granted I know little to nothing about the theory behind Backward Lesson Design, but is there a key component regarding brain research and actively engaging students using differeniated learning to activate the various neural networks? Perhaps UDL is Backwards lesson design with a splash of Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences and a dash of Pavio's Dual Coding System?

      Flexibility in Learning for "ALL" students...with the resources available to schools presently, is this a reality for ALL classrooms in America?
  • Universal design for learning means that the creators or publishers of content and curriculum use computer technology to structure their knowledge and activities in ways that will make it accessible to the greatest possible number of individuals.
  • multiple representations of information, alternative means of expression, and varied options for engagement.

  • Curricula will be created "half full," offering parents, teachers, and learners opportunities to interact with the information, add their own material, and leave their own personal stamp or interpretation on the materials, thus assuming a more active role in their own learning.
