Noodlenotes

You might notice that I have made a change in the banner - Noodlenotes is actually the title of my blog, but MOODLING is what I do best! See my May 5, 2007, post in the archive for the origin of "moodling."

Universal Design for Learning toolkit

Free Technology Toolkit for Universal Design for Learning. Universal Design for Learning is the practice of providing multiple methods of "representation, engagement and expression" for all students to maximize their learning.

If you read through my "old posts" you know that this blog began as a place to collect my thoughts and resources as I re-think and re-shape my role as school librarian.

These are great resources to propel you into a whole new era of booktalks... http://pdfs.voya.com/VO/YA2/VOYA200710tag_team_tech.pdf
