Pioneering Common Core and Universal Design for Learning Implementation

Posted on April 11, 2013

The Common Core Learning Standards (CCLS) seek to provide a well-defined and coherent structure to prepare students for college and/or a career. CCLS prescribes what is essential for students to learn, however it does not address how teachers should teach. Additionally, in order to support all students including students with disabilities to successfully engage with the CCLS, educators can apply the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework.

Are you struggling with CCLS implementation in your school or district? Are you wondering about how to implement the UDL framework? You’re not alone. Our panelists will share their goals, struggles, challenges and achievements with the Common Core Learning Standards while exploring the theory of UDL and how the framework can support all students.

Using Chromebooks and Tablets in the Classroom – Live Demo of ClassLink LaunchPad

Posted on March 21, 2013

It is hard to believe that it’s already time to start thinking about fall and the start of next school year. One of the major differences schools are facing is the range of tech devices coming into classrooms. Educators are quickly realizing that the type of device does not matter, but challenges to “getting things done” certainly exist. Moving to the cloud helps solve many of these issues.

ClassLink invites you to take an exclusive look into the Industry leading 1:1 and BYOD enabler, LaunchPad.
