Key aspects of UDL for classroom implementation and misconceptions: UDL in practice means the curriculum is accessible. Technology is a UDL tool, you don’t have to have access to technology to implement UDL. UDL is for EVERYONE- not just for special education populations. UDL is not just differentiated instruction. UDL does not eradicate disabilities.
