UDL and Assistive Technologies using the iPad

     Assistive technologies have been around for a very long time, as have numerous strategies for reaching all learners.  Universal Design Learning has put a new focus of how to effectively reach learners at all levels and abilities.  The Apple iPad has provided numerous tools to help teachers and learners accomplish this tremendous task.  I have yet to gain the opportunity to use an iPad in my personal classroom, but I have been an Apple iPhone user for many years now and can definitely see the benefits it could bring to at-risk students of all kinds. Teachers work extremely hard to find ways to pull struggling learner up and push gifted students forward.  Individual classrooms tend to have a range of abilities wider than the grade levels in the entire school.  I searched for iPad applications that could assist students in the classroom and out move their learning to higher levels.
