A National Summit on UDL
Last Thursday, November 7, 2007, I was honored to be invited to the first national summit on discussing the current state and future direction of UDL in education. This event was hosted by the Center for Applied Special Technology (CAST) and held in Washington, DC. A group of 50 individuals from across a variety of public, private, profit and non-profit sectors gathered to discuss these important issues and offer some guidance to CAST and others. Among several important announcements, CAST noted that they are venturing into work with both Google and Microsoft on new tools that will blend in UDL applications. Keep a watch on their website, http://www.cast.org, for more information from this meeting and new advances in the news around UDL!
