"When learners co-design their pathways, it frees us as teachers to take on the role of facilitator, guiding students to understand how they learn best and what strategies work for them." @KatieNovakUDL 3 Myths We Need to Dispel About UDL (By Dr. Katie Novak) buff.ly/3ZdrG8m

How does your understanding of auditory information change with and without captions? P.S. a favorite song to try this with is Pharrell's "Happy" in ASL with closed captions #ATisEverywhere #ISW24 youtube.com/watch?v=H3KSKS…

Captions support language learners, learners with hearing loss, those in the back of the room, and more. Present lessons with live captions in Google Slides or Windows 11. Use Live Captions in Chrome for videos and podcasts. #FCPSKeepCALM #UDL @ATS_FCPS @FCPS_EdTechTeam @fcpsnews

#EdTech is the smart way in. We couldn't agree more! So many people benefit from using audio to support reading and FCPS has so many great inclusive tools! Support #UDL, make tools available, & remember to use accessible text. #FCPSKeepCALM @ATS_FCPS @FCPS_EdTechTeam @fcpsnews

#FCPSKeepCALM - Use Text! All text we use should be selectable and editable, not an image of text. You can check by highlighting the text. If you can select it, it's text. If not, it's an image of text. Accessible text is a key element of UDL. @ATS_FCPS @FCPS_EdTechTeam

The Assistive Technology Services website features a new Inclusive and Assistive Technology Tools section that offers common supports within the FCPS digital ecosystem. Be sure to take a look! @ATS_FCPS #ATIsEverywhere fcps.edu/academics/spec…
