This document discusses the importance of technology and universal design for learning (UDL) in education. It outlines the three principles of UDL which provide multiple means of representation, action and expression, and engagement. The document also discusses how technology and UDL can help create flexible learning environments that meet the needs of all students. Finally, it addresses how career and technical education (CTE) can help students acquire 21st century skills and improve employability.

4. The goal of UDL is to create environments in which
everyone will have the opportunity to become expert
learners, and the means to get there, be it by the use
of technology or without technology and it should be
flexible.
Why UDL?
5. Principle I: Provide Multiple Means of Representation
(the what of learning).
Perception
Language, expressions, symbols
Comprehension
Station 1:
Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
6. Principle II: Provide Multiple Means of Action and
Expression (the how of learning).
Physical action
Expression and communication
Executive function
Universal Design for Learning (UDL):
7. Principle III: Provide Multiple Means of Engagement
(the why of learning).
Recruiting interest
Sustaining effort and persistence
Self-regulation
Universal Design for Learning (UDL):
8.
The three primary principles, that help guide UDL are
based on neuroscience research, and provide the
underlying framework for the Guidelines.

Universal Design for Learning (UDL):
9. Technology needs to be carefully planned into the
curriculum as a way to achieve the goals, there is an
important exception. For some students, the use of
personal assistive technologies e.g., an electric
wheelchair, eyeglasses, or a cochlear implant is
essential for basic physical and sensory access to
learning environments.
Technology and UDL for All Learners
10. Devoted educators find ways to design lessons that
meets the needs of all students, whether they are
using technology or not. However, powerful digital
technologies applied using UDL principles enable
easier and more effective customization of lessons
for students.
Station 2:
Technology and UDL for All Learners
11. Technology has spread through all facets of our
economy and culture. Every student/learner now in
school needs a range of knowledge that is much
broader and more comprehensive of our changing
culture.

Technology and UDL for All Learners
12. This 21st century educational movement where CTE
serves 94 percent of all high school students, including
male and female students, students from many races
and ethnicities, and students from higher and lower
income backgrounds and also includes students with
diverse challenges is the future of our country.
Station 3:
21st-Century Skills Acquisition and Employability
13. CTE Works for High School Students
High school students involved in CTE are more engaged,
perform better and graduate at higher rates.
The average high school graduation rate for students
concentrating in CTE programs is 90.18 percent, compared
to an average national freshman graduation rate of 74.9
percent.
More than 70 percent of secondary students enrolled in
CTE have pursued postsecondary education shortly after
high school.
21st-Century Skills Acquisition and
Employability
14. CTE Works for College Students and Adults
4 out of 5 secondary CTE graduates who pursued
postsecondary education after high school had
earned a credential.
A person with a CTE-related associate degree or
credential will earn on average between $4,000 and
$19,000 more a year.
