Adapt Resources One of the biggest pressures on teachers right now isn’t a lack of ideas – it’s time. Time to adapt resources, time to make them accessible, and time to present the same content in different ways for different learners.

Rather than being “another AI tool”, Create is best understood as a resource‑conversion space – a place where you can take what you already have and quickly turn it into something else that works better for your students....

By D Currie | edtech4everyone.org 👣 My UDL Journey So Far I’m not an expert in Universal Design for Learning (UDL)—far from it. I’m still finding my way, experimenting, and learning what works.
