Hello UDL friends,
Check out my website.

Thus far, I have really only constructed the "hear our stories" section
of the site. Watch the "welcome video" on the homepage and then
have fun navigating throughout the pages. Good luck.

text to speech

I have been using kurzweil, an e-text alternative to traditional reading. While it improves my comprehension of the material, I fear that I am growing dependent on it. As beautiful as the concept of UDL is, the reality is that there are not text-to-speech options in the work place and everyday life. I want to make sure, therefore, that I am enhancing my literacy skills. Do etexts like UDL editions or kurzweil improve reading in the long run or do they just facilitate it in the meantime?

Dove Evolution

I believe this video exemplifies the importance of stressing new kinds of representation, communication, and education in the 21st century. The Dove Campaign for Real Beauty incorporates UDL principles by using multiple formats (articles, websites, photos, videos) to convey their messages to girls all over the world.
