This workshop will examine how to integrate technology with intentionality to ensure engagement and learning for all. We will explore how technology can be used within a Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework to remove barriers for learners and to provide students with choice and voice. In this interactive session, designed to emulate a UDL experience, educators will explore how they can use technology to empower all learners and design impactful lessons. Educators will reflect on their educational technology comfort level and explore new and different ways to leverage digital tools in the classroom. It would be beneficial for participants to have a device (laptop or tablet) for a more interactive experience.

Real uses of Google Sheets to better manage information, compared to creating a table in Google Docs. This could be anything from an automated tracking system, a purchasing system for making orders, and even a rudimentary library circulation system for a small school. Participants will learn to ask the correct questions that will allow them to create or modify Sheets' tools for their own use.
