Mr. Borman used Edmodo to survey his student's learning preferences and based on the results, identified apps that would support reading comprehension and promote UDL in his classroom. Would love to know how students responded to the options. Nice process, Mr. Borman! 
Kathleen McClaskey's curator insight,

Mr. Borman surveyed 17 students in one of his classes and discovered that there were a few needs when it came to reading comprehension. He has put together "A Toolbox of Reading Comprehension Apps" that can support the needs of his students in his UDL classroom. For each app, he has outlined "What it does", "How students can use it" and the "UDL Principles".
Check out the Toolbox: > iBooks > Popplet > SyncSpace > Odyssey (by Homer) > Toontastic > Explain Everything > Ulysses > Subtext > Prezi
Thank you Mr. Borman!

"Over the years, I’ve noticed how one question can change the dynamics of any situation. Everything might be moving along quite nicely at the dinner table, everyone’s happy and laughing but one question can send those same smiling faces into a frenzy of shouts and upset. This also holds true in a classroom. Students may be working quietly and the teacher might be content but one question or comment from a student or the teacher can turn that quiet into bubbling sea of chatter.
Beyond textbooks and worksheets, at the core of every basic lesson lies the key to teaching students anything and everything–student engagement." Via John Evans, Tom Perran
