How can Web 2.0 tools help support UDL Principle 1: the "what" of learning? Here are just a few example on how wikis, podcasts and blogs can provide "muliple means of representation".
How can wikis help?
> Educators can post text, graphics, video, voice/sound files, and interactive applications to show concepts, skills, and facts in different ways
> Students can use posted and in-class examples as a springboard to creating and posting their own examples to clarify information for themselves and their peers
How can podcasts help?
> Video (vodcast) and voice (podcast) recordings can provide anecdotes and stories related to essential skills and knowledge that would be unwieldy to type
How can blogs help?
> Educators can offer information in most of the same diverse ways as indicated above in the section on wikis (text, graphics, video, voice/sound files, and links to interactive applications)
> Easy, responsive method of addressing prior knowledge issues that arise during each day and might be addressed online at night
