When launching and refreshing a 1:1 technology initiative, school districts are always mindful that opportunities and technology are equally available for all learners. Universally designing a 1:1 technology initiative adds some critical considerations on "the front end" that scaffold and maximize available technology tools to promote access, expression and student engagement. Providing “identical” technology to a wide range of diverse learners, requires a flexible design as well as the consideration of specific technology supports to reach the extremes of user differences. This session will introduce key technology support options that can be beneficial to meet the diverse learning needs of students and other things to consider.
