According to neuroscience and the Universal Design for Learning theory, there is no one right way to learn. Fortunately, the latest crop of tech tools offers a variety of ways for students of all learning styles and preferences to engage, receive information and express their learning.
Kathleen McClaskey's insight:
Luis Perez and Kendra Grant have compiled and described how 27 tools can be used by learners to help them become expert learners. They outline the tools under the three principles of Universal Design for Learning so that educators can relate to how each tool can support learners in more flexible and personalized ways. This is an excellent resource that should be shared far and wide among all educators that want to support the diversity of learners in their classrooms.

The amazing Luis Perez has posted on his YouTube Channel a few videos focusing on the built-in accessibility features of Apple Watch. He has also shared in his updated book on low vision for Apple users, Zoom In (available as a free download on the iBookstore). VoiceOver, Zoom and many of the accessibility features familiar to users of iOS devices are included in Apple Watch.
He has included an extensive description of 7 Apple Watch apps that level the playing field for diverse learners.
Thank you, Luis for sharing your expertise on the Apple Watch!
