Something to Ponder

“Information that is not attended to, that does not engage students’ cognition, is in fact inaccessible. It is inaccessible both in the moment – relevant information goes unnoticed and unprocessed – and in the future: relevant information is unlikely to be remembered.”

CAST (2008). Universal Design for Learning Guidelines Version 1.0. Wakefield, MA: Author.
