Sara Dexter states that “Technology use provides added value to teaching and leaning.” The “added value” in classroom is mainly manifested in accessing data, processing information, communicating knowledge.
The purpose of “added value” for the uses of technology is same as UDL (Universal Design Leaning) that maximizes learning opportunities for every type of individuals by using technology in digital age.
Just like advancement of technology benefits the development of human being, it is a fact that advancement of educational technology benefits teaching and learning. I believe that it is a requirement for an educator in digital age to understand the importance of technology usage and master the necessary skill and method. eTIPs and UDL figure out some practical principles that educators can rely on to design or build more effective curriculum.

Good linkage of UDL and eTips. Do you find that some of our uses of technology in MD 400 address UDL? Visual learning?
