The purpose of the poster session is to educate teachers and leaders that it is critical that learning resources support ALL learners. With knowledge (Universal Design for Learning), support and time, both teachers and students can use their making skills to adapt/design learning resources for fellow students for support their learning. Participants will learn how the presenters developed their knowledge through professional books and connecting with other educators on Twitter and/or face to face PD, shared their knowledge with others, developed opportunities for students to understand the need and create resources to support different ability students. Students examples to be shared are games adapted by elementary students and learning resources/books created by middle school students. Tools to be shared: cardboard, duck tape, brads, string, textured paper and fabric, wikki sticks, 3D pens, Makey Makey, coding programs, and 3D printed items designed in Tinkercad. All resources can be found along with examples on the provided website.
