Today is the 1st day of school and my dad’s 70th bday. He emigrated from Panama when he was a child. At 20 he enlisted, married his Ayer High school sweetheart, and left for Vietnam. He taught me what it means to have #grit which I’ll certainly need this year as an #educator

@jimknight99 One that’s accessible

OK, for those of you with opinions about fonts (and shouldn't that be everyone?) I'm thinking about making a major life change. I've used Helvetica Neue as my font of choice for writing. I feel it is time for a change. What do you recommend?

On Monday, the education department released its blueprint for the nation's ed-tech priorities and UDL is mentioned on 74 pages of the 113 page report!

Anyone need a substitute? #HappyHalloween #MissViolaSwamp

I don’t wear 🌈 items to tell you who’s in my bed. I wear 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ so the family across the street knows they are safe. So the couple in the restaurant know they aren’t alone. So the boy who sees me notice him looking at dresses knows I won’t judge. I wear pride bc you make them hide

@ladyjugsoplenty What kind of phone do you have? What OS and version do you have installed? When you say “Google”, do you mean the Google App? This Tweet was specifically for Safari for iOS, but I can try and help!

My brain can’t get used to the address bar being at the bottom of #Safari in #iOS15. Here’s how to change it 👉🏽 Settings ➡️ Safari

@KatieNovakUDL Love this! 💗

My 12 year old daughter texted me this today with no prompting. I am nailing this parenting thing! ❤️

If we want to fully embrace #UDL, we need to ensure the tools our students have access to are #accessible. Flexible tools offer flexible options. #bookcreator

We all feel like the kid in the back sometimes!

@mstranslator Thank you so much for updating your app!

@kmayoTechTeach Thank you for your feeback. We released an update where we removed the time limit on the conversation. Additionally, you can turn on presenter mode which mutes others in a conversation and have auto-play Text-To-Speech on incoming messages.

We are very excited to announce that we have redesigned Microsoft Translator iOS app and upgraded it with cool and advanced AI technologies. Try out the app: apps.apple.com/us/app/microso… Learn more: microsoft.com/en-us/translat… youtu.be/-OKpyu_FS4c #Microsoft #MicrosoftTranslator

Strong #UDL practice starts with collaborating with students to ask, "what do you need to be successful?" I truly believe that students know what they need to be successful and that everything that they need to follow their passion and achieve their dreams is inside of them.

"When you feel valued and appreciated, you tend to do better." What is valued and what is valuable are often two different things. buff.ly/3F5xuqW

It’s easy to get stuck on the content of the UDL Guidelines, but #UDL is bigger than that. Use this Tapestry to ignite your thinking! ow.ly/6Knw50MX7Vo @CAST_UDL #UDLchat

Tip! When possible offer audiobooks as an option to students. Even if books are frustrating for students, researchers advise that hearing challenging texts aloud will help students become familiar with difficult vocabulary. #StudentLed #UDL @katienovakudl @Catlin_Tucker

The most important component of the MTSS framework is its foundation—the practices we put into place in every classroom with every student. The universal design for learning. #LeadInclusion #EdChat #UDL #Inclusion

@EmmaCottier @TheCobblestoneC @armstrongedtech @VirtualGiff Tiny Beautiful Things is a great read

I made a personal goal to read 50 books this year...here is my Google Slide organizer to keep track of selections. I will be fill coloring the books as I go! Feel free to make a copy and personalize! 📚🔗bit.ly/booktrackinggr… @TheCobblestoneC @armstrongedtech @VirtualGiff

Goals: demonstrate an understanding of the 8 parts of speech & work towards becoming expert learners 1. #FastandCurious to self-assess 2. Ss learn on their own based on F&C results 3. Retake F&C 4. Ss complete #8parts w/ a partner or alone #EduProtocols #UDL

Kids want to tell you about their lives. They really do. Like, really. They want you to listen, to take interest, and to make comments about what they say. Do that. #RelationshipsMatter

Checklists are great for learners of all ages (including adult learners)! I add audio files to my checklists for my Ss who aren’t yet fluent readers. #udl #executivefunctioning #accessibility
