Loui Lord Nelson: Using Universal Design for Learning

This episode celebrates Overthrowing Education’s 2nd anniversary with Universal Design for Learning expert educator and author Loui Lord Nelson. Our conversation explores what UDL is and how to incorporate this important framework into lesson designs. Play The 5-Minute Game Show along with Loui and see if you can do as well as she did, cause she slayed it!

My special thanks to Loui and to my fauxmercail helpers Tuvia and Yossie Frankel. I also want to thank all of the wonderful guests and fauxmercial actors that have contributed so very much these last 2 years (check them all out on the previous 54 episodes!). And a big shout out to Distant Cousins, the band behind my theme song and Casey Arrillaga for his The 5-Minute Game Show theme music.
