This conversation not only describes the impetus for this very innovative showcasing of Universal Design for Learning practices on Goodwin’s campus, but also provides an overview of the episodes and quite a few ideas on how to incorporate meaningful engagement strategies. We bring up a wealth of resources from Improv techniques to Pecha Kucha and Padlets, as well as the use of the “Reacting to the Past” games in classes. You can find links to all of Karrie and Dana’s videos on the resources section of today’s episode at ThinkUDL.org along with links to the resources we mention throughout our conversation.
