Why UDL? UDL allow teachers to create a learning environment that is conducive for every learning style incorporating the use of technology.

How Does UDL Work? “Multiple means of representation to give learners various ways of acquiring information and knowledge. Multiple means of expression to provide learners alternatives for demonstrating what they know. Multiple means of engagement to tap into learners' interests, challenge them appropriately, and motivate them to learn,” (Edyburn, 2013).

Example and Demonstration of UDL Presentations = Students can select options of how to receive information. Expression = Students can chose how to express how their knowledge of the information. Engagement = Options will be provide for the interest of the students.

The Interaction and Impact of UDL Students with disabilities are able that hinder learning are able to fully interact in the lesson. ((Principle II. Provide Multiple Means of Action and Expression). Teachers are able to cater to the entire class instead of one group of individuals that require modifications.
