The CAST website offers a wealth of resources for gaining an in-depth understanding of what UDL actually looks like inside the ideal classroom. Their page "Teaching Every Student" explains the details about the UDL guidelines and principles and gives interactive activities where visitors can apply the principles to their own skills and challenges as well as to their students'. The page can be found at http://www.cast.org/teachingeverystudent/. I highly recommend completing the two activities, as they have given me insight as to how I can better reach my students by tapping into their unique skills in the three networks explained in the videos on this page.
One thing I noticed about this site, is that it does an excellent job of setting an example of how to provide resources for all visitors. The principles are all explained using multiple means of representation through images, videos, text, case studies, and interactive activities.
Miss Gibby, The name is great, it is catchy and easy to remember for your viewers. I agree with you that the CAST site is a great working activity for educators and parents. It enables you to put into practice the UDL framework.
