Who Doesn't LOVE FREE Resources?

I have recently reviewed the WIKI Site which includes a UDL tech tool kit. This tech tool kit has so many resources for all aspects of the classroom. It is easy to access and user friendly. This website contains technology resources to support Universal Design for Learning in all classrooms. There are lists of resources for study skills, graphic organizers, writing tools, math tools, text to speech/speech to text, and so much more to explore. The resources I explored would bring UDL into any classroom because there are resources to match all learning styles and help all learners be successful in their classroom environment. For the visual-spatial student there are tons of graphic organizer websites, like Learn Alberta, which allows you to download different templates and type into it. Students with disabilities will benefit from these resources as well. For example on this website magic keys, there are FREE books that have audio so they can listen to the words while they read. In my own professional teaching practice I have discovered useful math resources that would make great additions to my every day lesson planning. Braining Camp has interactive math lessons that are aligned with the common core standards and my math curriculum which would make great supplemental material. In my personal life I will have my nephew use Quizlet, a website to create flashcards to help him memorize his multiplication facts while using a fun flashcard game. I have also created a Prezi to introduce myself to my students in the beginning of the school year. This allows them to keep this resource in their tool kit if they needed a way to organize or present their own work. Here is my introduction Prezi if you would like to view an example. Although all of the resources are not free, these are just a few of the many great FREE resources or FREE trial resources available in the wiki site UDL tool kit.
