If students are engaged in learning they are less likely to miss school, get in trouble, and get suspended. Designing educational experiences and learning environments to meet the needs of diverse learners using the learning sciences and cognitive neuroscience is essential in the modern classroom (both brick-and-mortar and digital) and will increase student engagement, decrease class disruptions, and increase attendance. Using the Universal Design for Learning framework can be the key to unlocking the potential of our learners, choosing and implementing technology in a purposeful and pedagogically-driven way. No more excuses. We have to make learning meaningful, authentic, and accessible to all of our learners, even in the digital world.
