Universal Design for Learning - A Concept Map

I downloaded a 30 Day Free Trial of the Inspiration Software program and used it to create this concept map.  Inspiration is a very easy program to use.  It does not have nearly as many features as Adobe Photoshop.  Nevertheless, it is a very helpful and fun tool that can be used to organize ideas.  The concept map that you see below is one that I created to better understand the ideas related to Universal Design for Learning.

Universal Design for Learning is a very interesting concept which basically enables educators to provide more options for their students.  We all know how incredibly important it is to differentiate for all students.  The strategies and ideas presented through Universal Design, allow teachers to design lesson plans and activities that are better suited to their students' needs.  This in turn, allows them to better achieve the learning objectives and goals that they have set for their students.  If properly used, Digital Media can also be used in numerous ways to better reach students with a variety of learning styles and needs.  The possibilities for manipulating text and images are endless!!
