We had a fabulous show discussing UDL, Universal Design for Learning. We believe it is going to be the next best practice adopted by schools around the world. Cynthia Curry, an exceptional educator from Maine, led us through the discussion of how and why this is and should be the underpinning of all classrooms. Join us in the podcast and check out the chat.
One more SEEDLINGS show for this school season, then SEEDLINGS goes on hiatus for the summer season.
Join Bob and Cheryl while we interview Cynthia Curry, from Maine, as she leads us down the path using assistive technology tools in our classrooms as well as why we should all adopt Univeral Design for Learning as our best practice.

After which, you will want to listen to the SEEDLINGS show for October 2, 2008. Many of our Aussie friends were on break and joined in the conversation. We are hoping that soon there will be a webcast from Australia!
It really was an international show!
Join us on Thursdays at 19:30 GMT, we will be looking for you.
Join Alice, Bob and Cheryl as we chat with Jo McLeay about how her network has been creating a path for sustainability before and after the conference. A little while into the show Sue Tapp hopped into the chat room and then she joined the conversation.

Jo gives some great advice for anyone attending NECC.
